One approach to conservation of fish populations is to releaseunwanted fish accidentally caught in trawling nets. Such fishoften have very high concentrations of lactic acid in their bodies.Why do you think they have these high concentrations of lacticacid, and how might their survival after release be affected bytheir condition?
