6
Q

what kind of habitat disturbance does bottom trawling create

A

suspension of sediments
increased water turbidity
reduces habitat heterogenetiy
resuspension of contaminats
impacts on food web
lots of bycatch

16
Q

does noise polluition affect fish

A

yes, lateral line and eardrums

17
Q

are lead sinkers poisionous to wildlife

18
Q

elements of an angling event

A

capture
handling
release

19
Q

What trauma may you cause the fish when you capture it

A

increased lactic acid
increased blood glucose
disrupted osmotic balance
more chance of predation

20
Q

what does increased lactic acid do

21
Q

why does the lactic acid plateau

A

fish gets tired
stops fighting = no cramping

22
Q

what does increased blood glucose mean

A

flight or flight

23
Q

Why does tissue damage play an important role in the survival of the fish

A

Infection
swimming impairment
feeding impairment
+ energy to maintenece = - energy to growth and reproduction

24
Q

Why does handling impact fish

A

slime removal
loss of scales
samage to fish
air exposure

25
what does air exposure lead to
collapse and adhesion of gill filaments compromises respiration + psychological disturbance delays recovery tissue damage loss of equilibrium eventually... death
26
factors influencing loss of equilibrium
duration of air exposure handling time
27
Non lethal disturbances to fish
physiological energetic behavioral fitness
28
fishing induces selection
when a species is selected for based on their growth rate and body size
29
which individuals are favored when doing fishing induces selection
slow growth rates small body size
30
What is the bycatch from bottomtrawling
any non target species on the ocean floro
