Abstract
The structure of a society refers to self-reinforcing patterns of interaction that emerge when its members associate over time. From a macrosociological perspective, a sport fishery can be viewed as a social system where opportunities to fish are enabled or constrained by overlapping group memberships and reinforcing status positions. Blau's quantitative model of social structure provides a basis for understanding preexisting conditions that shape patterns of angler behavior within the social and biological construct of a sport fishery. Continuously distributed values of three indices of diversity are used to compare societal differentiation within and among populations of anglers who fish the waters of Lake Michigan.
