Understanding the physiological response of White Marlin, a popular sportfish, to catch-and-release fishing will aid management and conservation. White Marlin showed increased stress with angling time, but mortality was inversely related to angling time. Mortality was predicted by increased plasma potassium and may be heightened by air exposure.
