Italicize family, genus, species, and variety or subspecies. Begin family and genus with a capital letter. Kingdom, phylum, class, order, and suborder begin with a capital letter but are not italicized. If a generic plural for an organism exists (see Dorlandâs), it is neither capitalized nor italicized.inary genus-species combinations are always used in the singular. Genus used alone (capitalized and italicized) is usually used in the singular, but it may be used in the plural (not italicized) if it refers to all species within that genus.
Another reason a fish can get injured is from the hook. Ideally, you hook the fish in the mouth -- it's called shallow hooking. Shallow hooking also includes the cheek and jaw.
Gut Hook â What Should You Do? Occasionally you will gut hook a fish when using shiners or any live bait for that matter. All of the fish you see on this site were released alive. Some were hooked deep and the line had to be cut as not to injure the fish while trying to remove the hook.
