TL;DR: Efforts to reverse global trends in freshwater degradation now depend on bridging an immense gap between the aspirations of conservation biologists and the accelerating rate of species endangerment.

TL;DR: A brave new world with a wider view Researchers have long attempted to follow animals as they move through their environment, but such efforts were limited to short distances and times in species large enough to carry large batteries and transmitters, while new technologies have opened up new frontiers in animal tracking remote data collection.

TL;DR: The potential contribution of recreational fish harvest around the world may represent approximately 12 percent of the global fish harvest as discussed by the authors, but the lack of global monitoring and compiling of statistics on recreational fishing participation, harvest, and catch-and-release has retarded our ability to understand the magnitude of this fishing sector.

TL;DR: In this article, a review suggests that this technology has immense potential for research in basic and applied animal ecology and that efforts to incorporate biotelemetry into broader ecological research programs should yield novel information that has been challenging to collect historically from free-ranging animals in their natural environments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors develop an integrative perspective on catch-and-release (C&R) by drawing on historical, philosophical, socio-psychological, biological, and managerial insights and perspectives.
