A very interesting review was published by one of the world’s most published fisheries research scientists, Dr Steve Cooke et al. 2021, about technological innovations in the recreational fishing sector. There is an entire section dedicated towards underwater angling cameras: ‘Underwater cameras are likely to appeal to the desire of anglers to both catch more fish and better understand their target species. Fish videos can be enjoyable for anglers and, when used effectively, may help to increase angler-fish interactions leading to issues for fisheries managers and the policies that they need to uphold (Cooke et al. 2021).’
