Insights into catch-and-release survivorship and stress-induced blood biochemistry of common thresher sharks (Alopias vulpinus) captured in the southern California recreational fishery (2010, background): “E-mail addresses: chugey@pier.org, chugey@hotmail.com (C.A. Sepulveda). and early 1980s, the common thresher shark population showed a marked reduction in size prompting the adoption of several regional conservation measures (Holts, 1988; Hanan et al., 1993; PFMC, 2003).”
Hematological differences between stingrays at tourist and non-visited sites suggest physiological costs of wildlife tourism. (2009, background): “Lastly, although non-tourist stingrays required tracking before capture, as mentioned above, studies of the capture and handling of sharks have found no evidence of hemodilution or hemoconcentration in response to capture and restraint (Hoffmayer and Parsons, 2001; Manire et al., 2001).”
The physiological status and mortality associated with otter-trawl capture, transport, and captivity of an exploited elasmobranch, Squalus acanthias (2007, background): “…(of catecholamines), handling, and confinement stress has been mentioned in numerous studies on teleosts (e.g. Arends et al., 1999; Barton, 2000; Frisch and Anderson, 2000; Sulikowski and Howell, 2003) and elasmobranchs (e.g. Torres et al., 1986; Wells et al., 1986; Hoffmayer and Parsons, 2001).”
