Fisheries management strategies are needed that improve the survival of shark by-catch in longline fisheries. We quantified exercise intensity and physiological stress of longline-caught sharks to understand why different individuals fare better or worse upon release. Nurse sharks could improve their condition with added rest, unlike Caribbean reef sharks.
