Fish mortality

Got some old "Shikaar" tales to share? Found a great new spot to Fish? Any interesting camping experiences? Discussion of Back-packing, Bicycling, Boating, National Parks, Wildlife, Outdoor Cooking & Recipes etc.

Fish mortality

Post by eljefe » Wed Sep 26, 2007 11:44 am

As above, I am looking for evidence, ideas and comments on the mortality figures in fish after a hard run.
Obviously very C&R!
Would appreciate info/data from our UK members where an exclusive C&R policy is followed...I dont think the land owner who spends hundreds of pounds on stocking carp would be happy with a high mortality rate??!!
How would these figures translate into our Indian scenario, WRT mahseer and carp?
Indian members with experience of C&R with mahseer-your inputs are very welcome.
Would the small minority of deaths after C&R in our Indian Mahseer, affect the general mahseer population?
Yes, please do toss in arcane words like anerobic , lactic acidosis etc.
Best
