Effects of acute salinity and temperature change on Pacific hagfish, Eptatretus stoutii; implications for bycatch post release survival

Hagfish captured as bycatch in a commercial fishery may be exposed to a range of elevated temperatures and reduced salinities when brought to the surface but it is not known how this will affect post-release survival.
