The present findings may have relevant implications for fish-
eries managers. Clearly, this study did not comprise exhaustive
sample sizes across multiple years and in multiple systems. There-
fore, the results should be interpreted with caution and further
research on the roles of temperature and net set duration in fresh-
water commercial fisheries would be warranted. Nevertheless, the
trends observed were in accordance with predictions based on
established phenomena (the effects of temperature and confine-
ment) and would likely apply to other inland fisheries around the
globe, particularly for coolwater and coldwater fishes. It is well
established that levels of physiological disturbance and mortality
