Interesting research and methodology. I didn't know that enough fisher people handle fish with gloves to make such research worthwhile. I handle fish professionally and only wear a single glove when handling striped bass. This specific glove is called a "fish handling glove" and is designed to prevent puncture wounds and slices. Obviously, such gloves are not needed to handle trout. Some of my colleagues who do use gloves to process fish use neoprene gloves and others use nitrile gloves. I have rarely used gloves for general fish processing and when I have they have been those slick rubberized gloves that you can find in a hardware store.

I wear glacier gloves for my winter fishing. Being made of neoprene I've often wondered how good or bad they were. I always figured they were pretty low damage to the fish.
