Juvenile lemon sharks were angled and hooking injury, physiological stress, reflex impairment and short-term post-release mortality were quantified. Fight time was correlated with the level of physiological disturbance, but not post-release mortality. Four sharks (12.5%) died following release, and mortality was related to water temperature and body size.
