There is a need to better understand the survivorship of discarded fishes, both for
commercial stocks and species of conservation concern. Within European waters, the …

Reducing animal stress and mortality associated with bycatch and discard in fishing,
aquaculture, and live-market trade depends upon improvements in fishing gear and the …

Catch-and-release angling is an increasingly popular conservation strategy employed by
anglers voluntarily or to comply with management regulations, but associated injuries, stress …

Cryptic, not readily detectable, components of fishing mortality are not routinely accounted
for in fisheries management because of a lack of adequate data, and for some components …

The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that wounding and reflex impairment,
measures of fish condition, could be used to predict mortality in flatfish and roundfish that …

Most sharks, rays and chimaeras (chondrichthyans) taken in commercial fisheries are
discarded (ie returned to the ocean either dead or alive). Quantifying the post-capture …

Robust assessments of the effects of fishing require accounting for components of fishing
mortality, including post‐release fishing mortality (Fr). Random‐effects meta‐analysis …

Recent declines in global fish stocks have raised questions regarding the sustainability of
both extractive and catch-and-release fishing activities, and prompted efforts to quantify the …

Estimated declines in shark and ray populations worldwide have raised major, widespread
concern about the impacts of global fisheries on elasmobranchs. The mechanisms causing …
