Abstract:

When pulled quickly from deep depths, many fish experience barotrauma. Symptoms of barotrauma include bulging eyes and internal organs protruding from external parts of the body. Sea Grant specialists and charter boat captains teamed up to develop techniques and technology to increase the survival numbers of catch and release fish that experience barotrauma.
