• Post-release mortality of bonefish, Albula vulpes, exposed to different handling practices during catch-and-release angling in Eleuthera, The Bahamas (2007, background): “Handling practices can influence the susceptibility of fishes to predation post-release (reviewed in Cooke & Suski 2005 ).”
• The impact of catch-and-release angling on short-term behaviour and habitat choice of northern pike (Esox lucius L.) (2008, background): “Reasons for reduced activity of pike after release in the present experiment are most likely related to the physiological disturbances associated with hooking, exhaustive exercise during fighting and air exposure during hook removal (Cooke & Suski, 2005).”
• FISH Out of WATER: How Much Air is Too Much? (2015, background): “When the exhausted individual is removed from the water, additional lactate accumulates, extracellular acidosis is increased, and osmoregulatory disruption is exacerbated (Cooke and Suski 2005).”
• Catch‐and‐release science and its application to conservation and management of recreational fisheries (2007, background): “There have been attempts to develop generalisations for catch and release that should be applicable to most species and environments (see Cooke & Suski 2005 ).”
• Integrating physiology and life history to improve fisheries management and conservation (2006, background): “In cases where stress is not lethal, sublethal physiological disturbances could also affect growth and reproduction (see review in Cooke et al. 2002; Cooke and Suski 2005).”
• Enhancing catch‐and‐release science with biotelemetry (2008, background): “This trend is pervasive across recreational fisheries research in general (Cooke and Suski 2005).”
• Global conservation status and research needs for tarpons (Megalopidae), ladyfishes (Elopidae) and bonefishes (Albulidae) (2014, background): “…high densities of predators (e.g., sharks), survival can be significantly lower (Cooke and Philipp 2004; Guindon 2011), which highlights the need for an adaptive approach to creating and managing these catch-and-release fisheries (Cooke and Suski 2005; Cooke et al. 2006) including angler education.”
• 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): “Other works have also identified angling time as a critical factor in post-release survivorship (Cooke and Suski, 2005), but it may be that fight time is particularly critical when using caudalbased capture techniques.”
• Sharks, rays and abortion: The prevalence of capture-induced parturition in elasmobranchs (2018, background): “…to reduce the impact of fishing are (1) minimising angling duration, (2) minimising air exposure, (3) avoiding angling during extremes in water temperature, (4) use of barbless hooks and artificial lures/flies, and (5) avoiding angling fish during reproductive periods (Cooke and Suski, 2005).”
• Physiological and behavioural consequences of catch-and-release angling on northern pike (Esox lucius L.) (2009, unknown): “…C&R angling, there is a need to provide species-specific information on handling procedures and terminal gear configurations that minimize injury, air exposure and other potentially detrimental impacts on the fish (Cooke and Suski, 2005; Cooke and Schramm, 2007; Arlinghaus et al., 2007a, 2008a).”
• Recovery bags reduce post-release impairments in locomotory activity and behavior of bonefish (Albula spp.) following exposure to angling-related stressors☆ (2013, background): “A variety of angler behaviors and gear choices influence the outcome of a C&R event for a fish (reviewed in Cooke and Suski, 2005).”
• Effects of different capture techniques on the physiological condition of bonefish Albula vulpes evaluated using field diagnostic tools (2008, background): “Sublethal effects associated with catch-and-release angling may reduce the biological fitness of angled individuals (Cooke et al., 2002; Cooke & Suski, 2005; Arlinghaus et al., 2007), which may, in turn, reduce recruitment.”
• 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): “undersized fish) as management tools requires sufficient survival rates and successful reproduction among released fish to be effective ( Cooke and Suski, 2004, 2005; Bartholomew and Bohnsack, 2005; Cooke et al., 2005, 2006; Arlinghaus et al., 2007).”
