“…It was also important for us to reproduce a similar anaerobic disturbance in all fish involved in these experiments. Because the physiological disturbance caused by angling is very similar to the physiological response to other forms of burst (anaerobic) exercise (Gustaveson et al 1991;Wood 1991;Kieffer et al 1995), we chose to manually chase the fish for 1 min to produce an anaerobic disturbance that would be similar to that caused by an angling bout.…”

Abstract.-In the current study, we simulated different components of a live-release angling tournament (angling, live-well confinement, and weigh-in) to determine the relative physiological significance of these tournament components for largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides. Our results indicated that depletions of white muscle energy stores and accumulations of muscle lactate (i.e., a large metabolic disturbance) are the most important consequences of live-release angling tournaments for largemouth bass. This study also showed that there are two distinct components of a live-release tournament that cause a metabolic disturbance in largemouth bass: angling and the weigh-in. While the physiological consequences of angling are already well understood, this is the first study to show that the weigh-in portion of a live-release tournament also causes a large anaerobic disturbance in largemouth bass. In our simulation, the weigh-in resulted in a 75% decrease in white muscle phosphocreatine, a 46% decrease in ATP, and a 62% decrease in glycogen relative to control largemouth bass. The weigh-in simulation also caused the lactate concentration in white muscle to increase by about sevenfold relative to control fish and resulted in significant changes to cardiac function. Based on these results, subsequent experiments were performed to determine the main factor(s) responsible for the metabolic disturbance that results from the weighin. These experiments demonstrated that the period of air exposure during the weigh-in was a major cause of this disturbance. We recommend that tournament organizers minimize the air exposure that largemouth bass receive during the weigh-in to improve the physiological condition of released tournament-caught fish.

“…For example, angling normally involves burst (anaerobic) exercise, as well as air exposure during hook removal (Payer et al 1989;Gustaveson et al 1991;Ferguson and Tufts 1992;Kieffer et al 1995). To keep fish alive during the angling day, anglers typically retain fish in on-board live wells supplied with fresh lake water.…”

“…However, mortality may increase when fish are angled at warmer water temperatures (Dotson, 1982;Titus and Vanicek, 1988;Wilkie et al, 1996). There are also sublethal effects that may be induced by physiological changes provoked by a stress event including changes in reproductive behavior or function (Campbell et al, 1992;Kieffer et al, 1995;, disease resistance (Pickering and Pottinger, 1989), growth suppression or decrease in appetite (Gregory and Wood, 1999), post-release predation (Cooke and Philipp, 2004), and other behavioral effects such as changes in social hierarchies and migratory behavior (Lewynsky and Bjornn, 1987;Mäkinen et al, 2000). Physiological disruptions from stress events can be considered cumulative (Barton et al, 1986); therefore, it is possible that fish caught and released several times during a fishing season may be more vulnerable to these types of sublethal effects.…”

Physiological response of wild rainbow trout to angling: impact of angling duration, fish size, body condition, and temperature

This study evaluated the immediate physiological response of wild rainbow trout to catch-and-release angling in the Alagnak River, southwest Alaska. Information was recorded on individual rainbow trout (n = 415) captured by angling including landing time and the time required to remove hooks (angling duration), the time to anesthetize fish in clove oil and withdraw blood, fish length and weight, and water temperature at capture locations. Plasma cortisol, glucose, ions (sodium, potassium, chloride), and lactate were analyzed to determine the effects of angling duration, fish size, body condition, and temperature. Levels of plasma ions did not change significantly during the observed physiological response and levels of plasma glucose were sometimes influenced by length (2000, 2001), body condition (2001), or temperature (2001). Levels of plasma cortisol and lactate in extended capture fish (angling duration greater than 2 min) were significantly higher than levels in rapid capture fish (angling duration less than 2 min). Rapid capture fish were significantly smaller than extended capture fish, reflecting that fish size influenced landing and handling times. Fish size was related to cortisol and lactate in 2002, which corresponded to the year when larger fish were captured and there were longer landing times. Body condition (i.e., weight/length regression residuals index), was significantly related to lactate in 2000 and 2001. Water temperatures were higher in 2001 (mean temperature ± S.E., 13 ± 2 • C) than in 2002 (10 ± 2 • C), and fish captured in 2001 had significantly higher cortisol and lactate concentrations than fish captured in 2002. The pattern of increase in plasma cortisol and lactate was due to the amount of time fish were angled, and the upper limit of the response was due to water temperature. The results of this study indicate the importance of minimizing the duration of angling in order to reduce the sublethal physiological disturbances in wild fish subjected to catch-and-release angling, particularly during warmer water temperatures. It is also important to note that factors such as fish size may influence both the duration of angling and subsequent physiological response.

Les perturbations physiologiques potentiellement liées à la capture des poissons par filet maillant ou par épuisette ont été estimées chez des brochets, sandres, perches, brèmes, chevesnes, carpes et tanches de la retenue hydroélectrique de Pareloup (Aveyron). Toute capture provoque rapidement une hausse significative des taux de catecholamines (>10 ng.ml -1 ), Cortisol (> 100 ng.ml -1 ) et glucose (> 1 g.h 1 ) et une baisse des taux d'hormones thyroïdiennes (< 20 ng.ml -1 ) du plasma chez les sept espèces. Ces réponses physiologiques au stress de capture apparaissent significativement plus marquées suite à la pêche par filet maillant et ce, notamment, chez les espèces carnassières. D'après ces résultats, l'utilisation de filets maillants s'avère inadéquate pour des recherches à court terme sur la physiologie sanguine de populations naturelles de poissons, soulignant ainsi la nécessité après ce type de pêche d'une mise en place d'infrastructures particulières (e.g., viviers, cages flottantes, etc.) pour la phase ultérieure de récupération physiologique.Mots-clés : poisson, retenue, physiologie, stress de capture. PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES OF SEVEN LACUSTRINE FISH SPECIES TO CAPTURE STRESS (GILL NET AND LANDING NET). ABSTRACTThe potential physiological disturbances experienced by fish as a result of capture with gill nets or landing nets were assessed in pike, pikeperch, perch, bream, chub, carp and tench from the hydroelectric reservoir of Pareloup (Aveyron). Capture of fish quickly resulted in both a significant elevation of plasma catecholamine (> 10 ng.ml" 1 ), Cortisol (> 100 ng.ml -1 ) and glucose (> 1 g.l -1 ) levels and a drop in plasma thyroid hormone levels (< 20 ng.ml -1 ) in all species. These physiological stress responses were found to be highly increased following gill-netting, especially in carnivorous species. Hence, these data suggest that the use of gill nets is rather inadequate for short-term researches on blood physiology of ferai fish populations, then attesting to the necessity of settling up experimental facilities (e.g., fish-ponds, floating coops, etc.) following gill-netting to ensure a complete recovery of fish from capture stress.
