  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;An intense winter fishery for sauger&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sander canadensis&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;exists in the lower&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="single_highlight_class" onclick="highlight()"&gt;Tennessee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="single_highlight_class" onclick="highlight()"&gt;River&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;, and the objective of this study was to estimate the survival of angled&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="single_highlight_class" onclick="highlight()"&gt;saugers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. In February 2008 and January–March 2009, 81 angled&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="single_highlight_class" onclick="highlight()"&gt;saugers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;(72 live plus 9 euthanized) were affixed with ultrasonic tags. The movements (or lack thereof) by&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="single_highlight_class" onclick="highlight()"&gt;saugers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;released alive were compared with those of euthanized fish to&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="single_highlight_class" onclick="highlight()"&gt;assess&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;survival. Sixty-eight percent of the tagged&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="single_highlight_class" onclick="highlight()"&gt;saugers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;that were released alive exhibited maximum daily movements exceeding the greatest movement of any euthanized fish (0.5&amp;nbsp;km/d), and those fish were subsequently classified as survivors. The upstream movements of several euthanized fish indicated that their carcasses were ingested by piscivorous scavengers. In logistic models, the probability of mortality was significantly and inversely related to total length but not to capture depth, water temperature, handling time, or ascent rate. In 2 × 2 contingency tables, the fate of released&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="single_highlight_class" onclick="highlight()"&gt;saugers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;was not found to be associated with either the presence or absence of bleeding from the hooking wound or whether or not the fish displayed gastric distension. Most released fish survived despite the fact that gastric distension was observed in 72% of the angled&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="single_highlight_class" onclick="highlight()"&gt;saugers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
