Description:

This study employs a contingent valuation survey to elicit willingness-to-pay (WTP) from Canadian recreational anglers to fish on their preferred watersheds were these watersheds to adopt novel environmental DNA (eDNA) toolkits. The survey gathered responses from 999 Canadian recreational anglers using a double-bounded dichotomous-choice format. In comparison to a baseline that quantitatively elicits anglers’ WTP for the use of eDNA toolkits, this study also estimates how additional information regarding genomic technologies influences WTP. Results indicate that the provision of additional information has no significant effect on respondents’ WTP. On average, Canadian recreational anglers are willing to pay premiums between 7%-23% of their reported annual fishing expenditure to fish on otherwise-identical watersheds adopting novel eDNA toolkits. Findings from this study can be used to inform fisheries management policies, and evidence suggests Canadian recreational anglers have strong preferences for the adoption of eDNA technology regardless of the information they are exposed to. The manuscript associated with this data is currently being submitted for publication.
