Rockfish conservation and descender devices: We encourage the use of a weighted
barbless hook or other descender device to return incidental rockfish catch to
the water at an appropriate depth to reduce barotrauma and mortality; when
handling fish use wet hands and reduce time at the surface to minimise harm to
the fish. Consider moving to another location if rockfish are encountered and
not being fished.
