Should the 200+-year-old rockfish, caught near Alaska, have been thrown back?

It was reeled in from 900 feet below the surface.

Should the fish have been released?
	Yes, honor the venerable creature.
	No, that would be foolish.
	Hmm. I need more info.

From the comments at the link: "If it was caught at a 900' depth, it's dead by the time it reaches the surface people. If you throw it back, it'll just float. Still dead."
