So i'm that fisheries biologist who has the Flickr site you guys are discussing. Just to clarify a few points:
1) I am a fisheries biologist and several of the images are of large fish that were caught by rod or net during work and had to killed for our Total Metals testing progrm on fish health. An example of that are the large Pike.
2) When angling on my own, I indeed practice catch-and-release but also keep some for eating
3) Winter netting programs required we obtain baseline data on Inconnu. A certain number of fish are killed for age/growth determination based on otolith removal. Genetic samples are archived and internal organs are examined for general health. No meat is wasted and is distributed among community members. Sorry if such slaughter photos offend some of you.
4) I hope you guys enjoy the underwater photos.
