Blood sampling through the caudal vasculature is a widely used technique in fish biology for
investigating organismal health and physiology. In live fishes, it can provide a quick, easy …

Non-human vertebrate blood is commonly collected and assayed for a variety of
applications, including veterinary diagnostics and physiological research. Small, often non …

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

In many fisheries, some component of the catch is usually released. Quantifying the effects
of capture and release on fish survival is critical for determining which practices are …

Zebrafish, Danio rerio, are frequently handled during husbandry and experimental
procedures in the laboratory, yet little is known about the physiological responses to such …

Fishes are used in a wide range of scientific studies, from conservation research with
potential benefits to the species used to biomedical research with potential human benefits …

Over the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in the use of physiological tools
and experimental approaches for the study of the biological consequences of catch‐and …

Post‐exercise mortality (PEM) may occur when fish exercise to exhaustion and are pushed
so far beyond their physiological limits that they can no longer sustain life. Although fish …

Stress from fishing capture can incite potentially lethal physiological changes in fishes.
Blood acid–base status has routinely been utilized to gauge the magnitude of the stress …

Behavioral responses of fishes to variability in environmental conditions and habitat quality
are central to population-level demographic processes. Although field surveys can correlate …
