Tools by Fishsaverpro. Details: NOAA Data shows the highest survival rate (85%) for fish with barotrauma is by using a descending device for their release. Fish venting is no longer considered good practice as it carries high risk of internal damage and infection and only releases gas from the airbladder and not expanded gasses trapped within the flesh and body. Fish with Barotrauma are usually exhausted and unable to swim to depth unaided.
