• The physiological consequences of catch‐and‐release angling: perspectives on experimental design, interpretation, extrapolation and relevance to stakeholders (2013, background): “However, anglers differ greatly in their handling skill level and C&R behaviour (e.g. differences in landing and de-hooking times between experienced and novice anglers; Diodati & Richards 1996; Dunmall et al. 2001; Meka 2004), making the physiological consequences of C&R for fish highly context dep”
• Physiological response of wild rainbow trout to angling: Impact of angling duration, fish size, body condition, and temperature (2005, methodology): “Meka (2004) demonstrated that the use of barbed J hooks took significantly longer to remove than barbless hooks in Alagnak River rainbow trout, and experienced anglers took longer to land fish than novice anglers because they captured larger fish.”
• Effects of hook size and barbless hooks on hooking injury, catch per unit effort, and fish size in a mixed-species recreational fishery in the western Mediterranean Sea (2008, background): “Meka (2004) described the same trends, but also demonstrated that barbless hooks reduce the catch efficiency for Oncorhynchus mykiss.”
• Size Selectivity, Injury, Handling Time, and Determinants of Initial Hooking Mortality in Recreational Angling for Northern Pike: The Influence of Type and Size of Bait (2008, background): “ Meka (2004) reported that novice anglers injured proportionally more fish than experienced anglers.”
• Documented and Potential Biological Impacts of Recreational Fishing: Insights for Management and Conservation (2006, background): “Deep hooking (hooking in the gills, esophagus, intestine, eyes) causes a high mortality and decreases growth rates, especially if accompanied by bleeding (e.g., Aalbers et al., 2004; Meka, 2004), whereas hooking in the lips or jaw area consistently causes minimal mortality, which is consistently les”
