Recent Trends and Relevance of Sport Fisheries in Psychosocial Development of Fisherman in Northern West Bengal, India:                                                                                                         

Sport fishing, is a popular leisure activity worldwide, valued for its relaxation, enjoyment, and health benefits. Unlike commercial or subsistence fishing, it is pursued for pleasure rather than profit or food. Historical records from ancient civilizations highlight its long-standing cultural significance. In India, sport fishing has a rich tradition, but there is a notable lack of scientific knowledge and standardized regulations, especially regarding conservation of threatened species. While only a few Indian states enforce government norms, expanding recreational fishing could support ecotourism and generate employment, particularly in rural areas. To ensure sustainable growth, increased government involvement, better regulatory frameworks, and collaboration with local communities are essential. Citizen science and improved fisheries management can help address knowledge gaps and promote the conservation and management of sport fish resources.
