Description

This dataset is a standard SurveyMonkey csv export of results from an online survey to determine the behaviour and attitudes of recreational anglers towards biosecurity and fishery management. The survey consisted of 22 closed-format questions, and was made available between November 2013 and March 2014, receiving a total of 1380 responses. The survey was targeted towards anglers in England and Wales, but it is possible that some responses could have been from further afield. Online questionnaire created and executed on the SurveyMonkey platform - https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/ . The results were used to parameterise a mathematical model to determine the risk of pathogen spread associated with individual angler movements published in “Millard et al 2022 - Quantifying the role of recreational anglers in the spread of aquatic animal pathogens - Journal of Applied Ecology”. The 22 closed-format questions and information for respondents are provided in Supporting Information 1 of the published paper. (link to be added)
