It is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don't want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive to bite again another day．
捕鱼后对鱼放生通常很有必要，因为鱼太小，或者只是不想把它带回家吃。在某些情况下，对鱼放生是个很好的措施，有助于保持鱼的多样性和增加鱼的数量。狩猎和内陆渔业部（Department of Game and Inland Fisheries，DGIF）鼓励那些捕鱼和放生的捕鱼者在这样做时使用一些简单的技巧。下面提供的建议将有助于确保你放生的鱼能够存活，以便日后还能再次捕捞。

－When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible．Don't' use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying．
－捕鱼时，动作要快速，尽量让鱼在水里。不要用网把鱼放在地上，早点放生，以免鱼干死。

－Hold the fish gently．Do not put your fingers in its eyes．Don't wipe the scales off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival．
－握鱼时轻点，手指不要触碰鱼眼。不要去除鱼鳞，这样容易生病，降低存活率。

－Remove your hook quickly．If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in．The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish．
－快速取下鱼钩。如果鱼钩太深或进入鱼腹，那就剪断鱼线，让鱼钩留在里面。鱼钩留在里面不会对鱼造成严重伤害。

－Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water．Release the fish when it begins to struggle and is able to swim．
－将鱼在水中轻轻移动，并注意观察。当鱼开始挣扎并能游动时，将其放开。

－Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it．If you are going to release a fish, do so right away．
－不要将鱼放入桶或其他容器中，然后再决定放生。如果打算放生，要快。

With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival．
只要稍加注意，遵照上面的建议，鱼放生的存活率就会更高。
