TL;DR: The results indicate that the brief period of air exposure which occurs in many "catch and release" fisheries is a significant additional stress which may ultimately influence whether a released fish survives.

TL;DR: This study used largemouth bass as a model species to examine the behavioral and physiological responses of fish to a gradation of clove oil concentrations while exposed to truck transport and found that fish sedated by 5 to 9 mg l 1 cloveOil achieved that level of anaesthetization rapidly and recovered behaviorally more quickly than at higher concentrations.

TL;DR: This review will examine the structural characteristics that are integral to CAs participation in respiration, as well as highlight the specific roles and tissues that the different CA isozymes are involved in.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that blood from fish acclimated to 17° C water had a lower hsp70 mRNA heat shock induction temperature than did 5° C acclimate fish, and the hsp30 mRNA induction temperature, however, was unaffected by thermal acclimation.

TL;DR: Several recommendations are made concerning remedial treatments used in livewells (tanks) during angling tournaments when fish are recovering from exercise associated with angling, and in the context of critical oxygen and temperature guidelines for largemouth bass.
