Innovation is the first power in the development of recreational fishery industry. The knowledge innovations including knowledge search are the important way in designing, mapping, building up the recreational fishery projects, and effectively managing them, resulting in achieving good performances. This paper investigates the relationship between the recreation fishery organization scales, channels of knowledge innovation and performance. An empirical study was conducted in a number of domestic recreational fishery enterprises. The author assumed that large, medium and small-scale recreational fishery enterprises had path relationships to the selection of multiple channels of knowledge innovation, thus positively affecting the performance of enterprises. The function of government in the development of domestic recreational fishery industry is also discussed. The results of analysis of latent moderated mediation structural equation model (SEM) show that the recreational fishery organization scales have impact on the choice of knowledge innovation channels and the choice of knowledge innovation channels can mediate the relationship between recreational fishery organization scales and performance. Policy guidance, financial support and professional supervision of the government can promote this positive transformation.
