Results of this study suggest that deep-sea sharks exhibit variable levels of physiological stress to longline capture. Shallower-dwelling and smaller-bodied sharks exhibited greater apparent physiological disruption. No increase in physiological disruption was detected with proximity of capture to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill site.
