Depredation of catch by bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Florida king mackerel (Scomberomorus cavalla) troll fishery

A quick-release metal wire added to the Florida king mackerel troll fishery reduced depredation of catch by bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). There was no impact on king mackerel catch.
