چکیده
To reduce mortality in the by-catch of commercial salmon fisheries, techniques are being explored to revive fish before live release and improve survival. By measuring blood and muscle variables, we demonstrated that capture of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) by commercial trolling methods resulted in severe exhaustion and stress, e.g., muscle lactate reached 46.1 mmol·kg–1 while muscle phosphocreatine (PCr) decreased to 6.1 mmol·kg–1. Nevertheless, coho salmon recovered rapidly by swimming in a cage alongside the vessel while fishing activity continued. In particular, there were significant increases in muscle glycogen and PCr levels, and a decrease in muscle lactate after two hours. Notably, and in contrast to when exhausted fish are held stationary during recovery, plasma lactate remained low (<4 mmol·L–1) during recovery, a phenomenon observed in earlier laboratory studies with rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). There was no postcapture delayed mortality after 24 h. Therefore, we have established that postexhaustion activity promotes a rapid recovery in wild salmon and this result might find application in nonretention commercial and recreational fishing. Résumé : On est actuellement à la recherche de techniques pour diminuer la mortalité des prises accessoires dans la pêche commerciale au saumon, en réanimant les poissons avant de les libérer pour augmenter leur survie. La mesure des variables du sang et des muscles nous a permis de démontrer que la capture des Saumons coho (Onchorhynchus kisutch) par les méthodes commerciales de pêche à la traîne produit un épuisement et un stress graves; e.g., la concentration de lactate dans le muscle atteint 46,1 mmol·kg–1, alors que celle de la phosphocréatine du muscle est réduite à 6,1 mmol·kg–1. Néanmoins, les Saumons coho se sont rétablis rapidement en nageant dans une cage fixée sur le côté du navire, alors que la pêche se poursuivait. Il y avait, en particulier, des augmentations significatives des concentrations de glycogène et de phosphocréatine dans les muscles et une réduction du lactate musculaire après deux heures. Contrairement aux poissons épuisés gardés au repos durant la récupération, les poissons actifs ont maintenu des concentrations de lactate plasmatique basses (<4 mmol·L–1) durant la récupération, un phénomène observé antérieurement en laboratoire chez la Truite arc-en-ciel (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Il n’y avait pas de mortalité différée 24 h après la capture. Nous avons donc conclu qu’une activité après l’épuisement favorise une récupération rapide chez les saumons sauvages; nos résultats peuvent sans doute s’appliquer à la gestion des poissons qui ne sont pas retenus dans les pêches commerciales et sportives.

Physiological Indicators of Stress of Capture and Mortality Risk in Commercial Non-Retention Salmon Fisheries
Over 300 coho salmon (Oncoryhynchus kisutch) were examined for their physical and metabolic condition following capture with three different commercial salmon fishing gear types (seine, troll and gillnet). Regardless of the gear type, all fish arrived on board in a severe state of metabolic exhaustion and physiological stress as based on the eleven physiological measurements we performed. In ou...
متن کاملGlobal Resources and Market Impacts on U . S . Pacific Northwest Fisheries
Fish and fishery products represent a dynamic sector of the world’s global food economy. Changes in supply, market demands and fishery regulations have major impacts on regional fisheries in the U.S. Many small and mid-size fishing operations have been adversely affected by these changes and have undertaken different strategies to overcome economic hardships and survive in the global marketplac...
متن کاملA top-down survival mechanism during early marine residency explains coho salmon year-class strength in southeast Alaska
their year-class strength is necessary from both scientific and management perspectives. We examined correlations among juvenile coho salmon indices, associated biophysical variables, and adult coho salmon harvest data from southeast Alaska over the years 1997–2006. We found no relationship between summer indices of juvenile coho salmon growth, condition, or abundance with subsequent harvest of...
متن کاملPresent State of Asian Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) Stocks
Data from pelagic trawl surveys by TINRO-center from 1987 to 1996 in the Okhotsk Sea indicate that coho abundance is underestimated by coastal observations. The approximate Asian coho spawning biomass is 7,300-16,000 tons for the 1990s. Ways of improving Asian coho salmon resource management are discussed. Collection of precise fishery and escapement statistics must be expanded in areas previou...
متن کاملTheoretical Study of Indirect Heating Temperature Swing Adsorption in an Adsorbent Coated Finned Tube Heat Exchanger
In this study, the performance of an adsorbent coated finned tube exchanger for carbon capture was investigated numerically. The results showed that this structure has a great potential for being applied as a medium for CO2 capture by rapid indirect thermal swing adsorption. By using this structure, the recovery of 96%, and purity of 98% were achieved with a simple cycle consisting of two steps...
