Physiological responses to capture, handling and tagging in the critically endangered flapper skate (<i>Dipturus intermedius</i>) Open
Catch-and-release angling is a popular recreational pastime and an essential component of many fish research programmes. Marked physiological disturbances have been documented in elasmobranchs in response to angling and handling, but skate…

Sex‐ and length‐dependent variation in migratory propensity in brown trout Open
In partially migratory species, individuals either migrate at some point(s) in life or reside within their natal habitat throughout life. For salmonid fish, migration creates opportunities for feeding and growth, but it is also associated …
