Survival of Foul-Hooked Largemouth Bass(Micropterus salmoides)

We conducted a field experiment to determine the survival rate of foul-hooked (hooked external to the oral cavity) largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) caught and released by recreational anglers. Of 42 largemouth bass caught with hard-plastic baits containing three treble hooks, 15 were hooked only within the mouth and 27 had at least one hook penetrating the external surface of the fish (i...

Effect of catch-and-release angling on growth of largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides

Catch-and-release angling is popular in many parts of the world and plays an increasingly important role in management of recreational fisheries. Although the magnitude of catch-and-release mortality is well documented for many species, potential sublethal effects have been little studied. An experiment was conducted to assess directly the effects of catch-and-release angling on growth of large...

The Efficacy of AQUI-S® as an Anesthetic for Use on Juvenile and Adult Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides

The Effects of Acute Temperature Change on Prey Capture Kinematics in Largemouth Bass, Micropterus salmoides

The effects of temperature on prey capture kinematics were investigated in the Largemouth Bass, Micropterus salmoides. Five individuals were first acclimated to 22 C and then acutely exposed to temperatures of 15, 20, 25, and 30 C. At each temperature, feeding events were recorded using high-speed video at 500 frames s. An analysis of variance on the five fastest feeding events from each indivi...
