Physiological Basis of Climate Change Impacts on North American Inland Fishes (2016, background): “Lastly, knowledge of the physiological factors that influence fish survival in catch-and-release (Arlinghaus and Cooke 2009) or commercial fishing (Raby et al. 2011) can be used to instigate fisheries closures during heat waves associated with climate change (Box 4) or incorporated into best handlin”
The understudied and underappreciated role of predation in the mortality of fish released from fishing gears (2014, background): “An estimated 7.3 million tonnes of fish biomass is discarded at sea from commercial fisheries each year (Kelleher 2005), and bycatch and discard rates are simply unknown for many fisheries (e.g. in freshwater and small-scale fisheries; Raby et al. 2011).”
Inland capture fishery contributions to global food security and threats to their future (2014, background): “Although reported statistics seem to indicate production is increasing, actual production may be decreasing as inland fish populations are affected by overexploitation and habitat loss (Raby et al., 2011).”
Looking beyond the mortality of bycatch: sublethal effects of incidental capture on marine animals (2014, unknown): “Given the global scope of the problem, considerable resources have been devoted to examining various aspects of bycatch, resulting in over 1000 research papers published in peer-reviewed journals over the last few decades (Soykan et al., 2008; Raby et al., 2011).”
