Description
Proper release of marine fishes has become increasingly important to anglers. The use of fisheries management tools such as size limits, bag limits and closed seasons as well as stronger conservation ethics has resulted in more and more fish being released.

This brochure discusses techniques that you can use to increase survival of released fish, including techniques for handling and releasing the fish and special considerations for reef fish. This brochure also discusses the changes in Gulf reef fishing regulations for 2008.
