The change to surface is potentially deadly. People wonder why sturgeon fishing is much slower this year than last. Ever consider many of the fish caught at extreme depth die?

As far as them surviving the pressure change from 250’ to the surface and back. These fish are not prone to pressure change that other fish are prone to. They can self regulate as is evident as they “belch” on their way up to the surface. They don’t bloat like other fish do when they come up from the depths.

Fish was fine looks like maybe a keeper.
