The role of shoal familiarity in modulating relationships between individual fish’s metabolic traits and vulnerability to capture in a simulated trawl were tested in the lab. Fish tested in familiar shoals showed a negative relationship between anaerobic metabolic capacity and time spent in the trawl net, but not fish tested in unfamiliar shoals.
