Fish that are traumatised by barometric pressure are usually unable to swim back to the deep sea when they are released. Fishermen release fish for a variety of reasons. For example, fisheries regulations may prohibit the keeping of certain species of fish or fish beyond a specific size range. The fish may not be the angler's target species, or the cooler may be full. Some anglers simply enjoy the sport of catch and release. Regardless of the reason for release, fish suffering from barotrauma will need help to get into deeper water Barotrauma occurs when gases in a fish's organs and tissues expand as they rise to the surface. Signs of barotrauma include bulging eyes, protrusion of the stomach from the mouth, swelling of the abdomen, protrusion of the intestines and blistering of the scales. The deeper the fish is caught, the greater the likelihood that barotrauma will occur during surfacing When venting a fish, start at the base of the pectoral fin and move your fingers an inch or two back. Lift the scale and use the venting tool to Pierce the skin at a 45 degree Angle
