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

A

yes

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

A

Cramps

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
Q

what does air exposure lead to

A

collapse and adhesion of gill filaments
compromises respiration
+ psychological disturbance
delays recovery
tissue damage
loss of equilibrium
eventually… death

26
Q

factors influencing loss of equilibrium

A

duration of air exposure
handling time

27
Q

Non lethal disturbances to fish

A

physiological
energetic
behavioral
fitness

28
Q

fishing induces selection

A

when a species is selected for based on their growth rate and body size

29
Q

which individuals are favored when doing fishing induces selection

A

slow growth rates
small body size

30
Q

What is the bycatch from bottomtrawling

A

any non target species on the ocean floro
