“…The flawed logic leaves much of the causal factors for variability unexplained, reducing the power of one variable to explain the other. The recent advent of relatively small recording tri-axial accelerometers (and other biologging and telemetric techniques; Brownscombe et al 2013) has great potential to provide a quantitative measure of the intensity of activity during a capture event. When combined with a measure of fight time, these data should significantly improve investigations of the physiological disturbances associated with catch-and-release physiology and the prediction of post-release mortality rates.…”

Behavioral responses of fishes to variability in environmental conditions and habitat quality are central to population-level demographic processes. Although field surveys can correlate abundance to habitat variables (physiochemical, biotic, and structural), they cannot provide mechanistic explanations. Moreover, field surveys are often stratified by time or geographic criteria relevant to humans, whereas fishes stratify by habitat variables relevant to them. If mechanisms underlying behavior are not explicitly understood, conclusions based on survey data can lead to biased inferences as to species-specific habitat requirements and preferences, as well as changes in stock size occurring over time. Because physiology is the transfer function that links specific environmental conditions to behavior and fitness, we argue great gains can be made through the integration of physiology and fisheries science. These are complementary disciplines, albeit ones that generally function at very different temporal and spatial scales, as well as different levels of biological organization. We argue more specifically that integrating physiological approaches with behavioral studies and traditional fisheries survey data (where each approach develops hypotheses to be tested in the other) can mechanistically link processes from cells through populations to place fisheries management in an appropriate ecosystem context. We further contend that population-and species-specific mechanistic understanding of physiological abilities and tolerances can significantly help to: improve stock assessments, describe essential fish habitat, predict rates of post-release mortality, develop effective bycatch reduction strategies, and forecast the population effects of increases in global temperatures and ocean acidification.

“…Both acoustically transmitted and logged acceleration provide an 'overall' activity level (DBA) indicator, which can be used to calculate activity-specific energy use (Gleiss et al 2010). However, logged acceleration can also be used to extract more detailed information about the behaviour of the animal (Whitney et al 2007, Broell et al 2013, Brownscombe et al 2013, for example as a means to identify specific behavioural events including feeding (Broell et al 2013, Gleiss et al 2013. We are unable to extract these behaviours using transmitters, though loggers are not always practical or feasible to use as they must be retrieved at the end of the study.…”

The ability to define and quantify the behaviour and energetic costs of different activities is fundamental to a full understanding of fish ecology and movement, but monitoring activity and measuring energy expenditure in fish in the field is problematic. New telemetry methods using data loggers that incorporate tri-axial accelerometers promise to provide a method for simultaneously recording the behaviour and activity-specific energy use in both the laboratory and field. Using electronic data loggers equipped with tri-axial accelerometers we have measured dynamic body acceleration (DBA) during aerobic exercise in European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax whilst swimming in a swim-tunnel respirometer at ambient water temperatures of between 5.5 and 17.5°C. For all individuals, dynamic body acceleration (both vectorial dynamic body acceleration [VeDBA] and overall dynamic body acceleration [ODBA]) scaled linearly with oxygen consumption and as a function of ambient temperature. When the 2 DBA metrics were compared, VeDBA was not significantly different from ODBA, though the value for Akaike's information criterion was lower for VeDBA (indicating a better fit for the VeDBA model). In this paper, we provide further evidence to support the use of acceleration as a means to quantify the activity-specific energetic costs of swimming in teleosts and highlight some of the problems associated with monitoring the activity and metabolic rate of fish in restricted laboratory conditions.

“…Because of the large amount of high-resolution swimming data obtainable with ADLs, they have the potential to provide not only definitive measures of mortality, but also detailed information regarding sub-lethal behavioral effects. ADLs have been applied to the study of captive-held bonefish after angling (Brownscombe et al, 2013), but have not been widely used to study post-release behavior in free-swimming animals.…”
