Physiological Changes in Largemouth Bass Caused by Live-Release Angling Tournaments in Southeastern Ontario
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Several largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides tournaments in Ontario were visited in the summers of 1999 and 2000 to examine the physiological changes that occur in largemouth bass as a result of tournament procedures. Physiological variables were compared among tournament-caught largemouth bass, resting laboratory controls, and angled controls. The plasma cortisol and glucose concentrations and plasma osmolarity in tournament-caught largemouth bass sampled within 5 min following the weigh-in were significantly greater than those in both control groups. Tournament-caught fish also exhibited ionic disturbances that involved increases in plasma sodium and potassium concentrations, but there were no significant changes in the levels of plasma chloride. Large changes in the metabolic status of largemouth bass sampled following the weigh-in included major reductions in the muscle energy stores phosphocreatine, adenosine triphosphate, and glycogen and large increases in muscle and plasma lactate concentrations. In contrast, no significant changes occurred in the mRNA levels of heat-shock protein 70 in several tissues or in plasma creatine phosphokinase activity. Taken together, these results indicate that live-release angling tournaments cause a significant physiological disturbance in largemouth bass, but there is no evidence that these events normally result in serious cell damage.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
