Fishery Studies

The UK angling industry is the largest in the world, with a range of job opportunities in carp, coarse, sea, game and predator fishing. Angling is one of the nation’s biggest participation sports and it generates an annual expenditure of £3.3 billion. The rise in numbers of commercially-stocked fisheries in the UK is staggering and has seen a huge re-birth in carp, coarse and game fishing.
