Excerpts:

.. a major influence on physiological disturbances in fish is temperature, as fish angled in warmer temperatures display greater physiological disturbances (Gustaveson et al., 1991; Thompson et al., 2002) and higher mortality rates..

.. angler behaviour can also influence the degree to which fish experience physiological effects of C&R because both length of time spent fighting against the line and time exposed to air

.. Firstly, fish should be kept submerged underwater as much as possible to minimize air exposure and fight times should be minimized to avoid physical exhaustion (Cooke and Suski, 2005; Brownscombe et al., 2017). Secondly, ..
