That's where things get real tricky I believe smudge due to barotrauma damage being related to the depth the fish was caught in. The survival rates of several of the more targeted table fish over here fare very poorly, even when caught in 30m. A slow speed retrieve is crucial as is allowing the fish to decompress 6-10m below the surface. Snapper appear to be much hardier. Fisheries modelling is based on the following death rates of released fish. Baldchin groper and Breaksea cod (black arse) 90%, WA dhufish 50%, snapper 20%. Release weights are compulsory on all recreational fishing boats. I've mentioned on here previously that I've released snapper (bycatch) caught in 200-240m and they have swum away strongly. Do they survive ........... ???
