[quote=eyeFISH]Unless you have inflow/outflow tubing supplying new freshly oxygenated saltwater and draining away old oxygen-depleted / C02-rich saltwater, your shaker is gonna die of hypoxia and respiratory acidosis. You're far better off recovering that fish in the water from which it came... not stagnant bucket water.

Maybe I did not make my self clear.
dip a 5 gal. bucket into the saltwater, place fish in bucket. I wouldn't use stagnant water, no need you have plenty of fresh oxygenated water at hand.


If there is gear in the water, then there will be encounters. If there are encounters, there are impacts.

Yes of course.... ok back to the question, what is the encounter mortality ratio?
what are the best practices to reduce those numbers?
If we can get those mortality numbers reduced will that be recognized?
