Nutritional and Economic Value of Inland Recreational Fisheries by Country

Nutritional, economic, and climate vulnerability metrics for species-specific recreational fisheries harvest for consumption, compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey. It quantifies dietary contributions of calcium, DHA+EPA, iron, protein, vitamin B12, and zinc, and economic contributions via total consumptive use value. The data was last updated in February 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between total consumptive use value (TCUV) and nutritional metrics like DHA+EPA supply across different countries.
• Assess climate vulnerability of recreational fisheries under four climate change scenarios for different species and regions.
• Model the supply of key nutrients such as protein, iron, and zinc from inland recreational fishing to evaluate dietary contributions.
• Compare the economic value (TCUV) and nutritional profiles (e.g., vitamin B12, calcium) of fisheries harvest across geographic areas.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from the authoritative U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
• Includes multiple analytical dimensions: nutritional, economic, and climate vulnerability.
• The dataset version (1.2) and last update date (February 2026) indicate recent maintenance.

Limitations

• The dataset's size, row count, and specific column structure are unknown, limiting assessment of scope and granularity.
• The absence of sample data and file format details makes it difficult to evaluate data structure and usability prior to download.
