Abstract
It is critical to use science-based decision making when examining angling practices to ensure sustainable catch-and-release fisheries. One technique that is used in situations where fish lose equilibrium is to provide assisted ventilation by hand until equilibrium is regained. This study uses two freshwater species that are popular for angling: largemouth bass and brook trout to examine the effectiveness of this ventilation technique in facilitating physiological, behavioural recovery and survival.
