What does ビクビクのヌルヌルで mean?

As for context, she was trying to remove the fish she had just caught from her
fishing rod. It's clear that she's referring to the fish, but the の between
ビクビク and ヌルヌル is confusing me as to what is being said.




As stated in the comment section and in the other answer, ヌルヌル means "slimy",
"slippery" and hard to grab hold of.

ビクビク often means "to feel scared", but here in your example it has nothing to
do with "feeling scared". 明鏡国語辞典 explains びくびく as follows:

> びくびく〘副詞〙 ❶ 恐怖・不安に敏感になっておびえるさま。 ❷ 体などが何度もふるえ動くさま。

We use ビクビク, ビクッ, or ビクン to describe a sudden and violent convulsive movement,
as well as a 痙攣 (convulsion, twitch, cramp), so the ビクビク here is more like "to
wriggle" or "to twitch", and indicates the sudden and quick movement of the
fish. Here're a few examples of this use of ビクビク:

>   * [「睡眠中に足や腕が **ビクビク** と動く」](http://www.xendela.info/2015/06/PLMS.html)
>   * [「寝ているときに体がピクッと動いたり **ビクビク**
> 動いたりする」](http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1073472505)
>   * [「動かなかった魚が、 **ビクビク**
> ！！って動きます」](http://worldchefsbible.com/%E5%85%83%E7%A5%96%E3%80%81%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E6%96%99%E7%90%86/%E9%AD%9A%E3%81%AE%E5%8D%B8%E3%81%97%E6%96%B9/)

The の here is used to connect the two mimetic words, like "and". You can
rephrase ビクビクのヌルヌルで as ビクビク **で** (その上)ヌルヌルで or ビクビク **していて** (その上)ヌルヌルしていて,
"The fish was wriggling **and** slimy". To me, ビクビク **の** ヌルヌル sounds a little
more emphatic than normal ビクビク **で** ヌルヌル.

I couldn't find the definition of this use of の in a paper or online
dictionary. I'll just quote a couple of examples from the web:

>   * 「[道路(が)つるつる **の**
> てかてか！](http://ameblo.jp/2525toshi/entry-10723231640.html)」
>   * 「[金属をつるつる **の**
> ピカピカにする](http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1030000360)」
>   * 「[ギタギタ **の** メロメロ **の**
> ボロボロにしてやる。](http://www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~poh/jaianizm-2.htm)」
