The goal of this PhD thesis is to better understand prominent social-ecological interactions in inland recreational fisheries to inform practical local level management that helps maintain inland recreational fisheries and the benefits they provide. Using a coupled social-ecological model I synthesize current hypotheses in inland recreational fisheries related to lakeshore development and stock enhancement to determine social-ecological outcomes as people both develop shorelines and stock fish when they become dissatisfied with catch rates. I demonstrate that increased development near lakes can lead to a dependency on stock enhancement to maintain recreational fisheries. Therefore, increased management costs could threaten the ability of managers to continue to supply future fishing opportunities. In the remainder of the dissertation, I present potential ecological and institutional approaches to maintaining inland recreational fisheries in highly developed areas. I first follow up on a widely-held ecological hypothesis from my first chapter that littoral structure reduces young of year mortality and improves recruitment of fish populations. My results show that there is no support for this hypothesis for largemouth bass and highlight the need for a basic understanding of the determinants of early life mortality of other freshwater fish species. I then focus on improving stock enhancement decisions in open access inland recreational fisheries by using bio-economic theory to help guide optimal investments under both formal and informal management institutional arrangements. Despite a hypothesis within natural resource management that communities will not invest in a resource under open access, I show that informal management groups do have incentives to voluntarily invest in maintaining their fish populations through stock enhancement even under open access. Finally, I determine whether stakeholders-those carrying out management of and affecting fish populations-view their fisheries as coupled social-ecological systems, by comparing their mental models to a prominent academic framework for understanding social-ecological systems. I show that stakeholders emphasize the number, diversity, and influence of actors and resource systems, and focus less on governance systems and broader environmental settings. Based on strong empirical evidence that the number and diversity of governance system attributes are positively correlated with social-ecological fisheries success, I suggest approaches for improving the role of governance systems in local management of recreation fisheries. Overall, this thesis demonstrates that a social-ecological perspective of inland recreational fisheries can improve our understanding and ability to maintain recreational fisheries, but also identifies important knowledge gaps currently limiting our ability to effectively manage these fisheries and the benefits they provide.

520 $a L'objectif de cette these de doctorat est de mieux comprendre les principales interactions socio-ecologiques dans les pecheries recreatives a l'interieur des terres afin d'eclairer une gestion pratique au niveau local qui aide a maintenir la peche recreative dans les eaux interieures et les avantages qu'elles fournissent. En utilisant un modele socio-ecologique couple, je synthetise les hypotheses actuelles de la peche recreative a l'interieur des terres liees au developpement des lacs et au reapprovisionnement des lots ('stocks') afin de determiner les resultats socio-ecologiques du developpement et du reapprovisionnement des stocks a cause des prises peu satisfaisantes. Je demontre que le developpement accru et le nombre d'habitants pres des lacs peuvent entrainer une dependance vis-a-vis du reapprovisionnement des stocks pour maintenir les peches recreatives. Par consequent, une augmentation des couts de gestion pourrait menacer la capacite des gestionnaires a continuer a fournir des possibilites de peche futures. Dans le reste de la these, je presente des approches ecologiques et institutionnelles potentielles pour maintenir la peche recreative dans les zones tres developpees. J'examine d'abord une hypothese ecologique largement repandue, discutee dans mon premier chapitre, selon laquelle la structure du littoral reduit la mortalite des jeunes de l'annee et ameliore le recrutement des populations de poissons. Mes resultats ne soutiennent pas cette hypothese au cas de l'achigan a grande bouche, et soulignent la necessite d'une comprehension de base des determinants de la mortalite precoce chez d'autres especes de poissons d'eau douce. Je me concentre ensuite sur l'amelioration des decisions du reapprovisionnement des stocks dans les pecheries recreatives interieures en libre acces en utilisant la theorie bioeconomique pour aider a orienter les investissements optimaux dans les arrangements institutionnels de gestion formels et informels. Malgre une hypothese de gestion des ressources naturelles selon laquelle les communautes n'investiront pas dans une ressource en acces libre, je montre que les groupes de gestion informels sont incites a investir volontairement pour maintenir leurs populations de poissons, meme en acces libre. Enfin, je determine si les parties prenantes-celles qui gerent et affectent les populations de poissons-considerent leurs pecheries comme des systemes socio-ecologiques couples en comparant leurs modeles mentaux a un cadre academique important pour comprendre les systemes socio-ecologiques. Je montre que les parties prenantes mettent l'accent sur le nombre, la diversite et l'influence des acteurs et des systemes de ressources, et se concentrent moins sur les systemes de gouvernance et les parametres environnementaux generaux. Sur la base de preuves empiriques solides montrant que le nombre et la diversite des attributs du systeme de gouvernance sont positivement correles au succes socio-ecologique de la peche, je suggere des approches pour ameliorer le role des systemes de gouvernance dans la gestion locale des peches recreatives. Dans l'ensemble, cette these demontre qu'une perspective socio-ecologique de la peche recreative a l'interieur des terres peut ameliorer notre comprehension et notre capacite a maintenir la peche recreative, mais identifie egalement d'importantes lacunes dans les connaissances qui limitent actuellement notre capacite a gerer efficacement ces pecheries et leurs avantages.
