Summary: A series of trials previously carried out to investigate the physiological responses of boma-confidut impala to repeated capture in nets, resulted in a mortality of 42%. Animals not surviving the duration of each trial appeared to respond differently to surviving individuals in certain blood variables used to quantify physiological response. In the present study, an analysis of the physiological data collected in these trials is presented, which attempts to characterize the differences in response observed, and identify the relevant physiological variables. The ability to predict survival, by measurement of physiological variables, of animals subjected to boma-confinement and handling procedures would allow operators to take appropriate measures to reduce the risk of mortalities in the animals concerdut.
