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 …

Freshwater fish move vertically and horizontally through the aquatic landscape for a variety
of reasons, such as to find and exploit patchy resources or to locate essential habitats (eg …

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 …

Exposing fish to air following capture influences postrelease survival and behavior. Air
exposure causes acute hypoxia and physical damage to the gill lamellae, resulting in …

We searched major electronic databases to identify peer‐reviewed literature investigating
the role of temperature on the stress response and mortality of captured and released fish …

A prerequisite to studying the physiological status of wild animals is the ability to obtain
blood samples that reflect the condition prior to capture or handling. Based on research in …

We examined the physiological and behavioural consequences of, and recovery from, catch-
and-release related stressors using a combined laboratory and field study in northern pike …

Few studies have examined the effects of fisheries capture on wild fish, particularly in the
context of evaluating the sustainability of capture and release methods for Pacific salmon …

In recreational fisheries, catch and release is widespread and practiced under the
assumption that released fish survive the capture event unharmed. To im-prove …
