Influence of fish attractant on hooking location of Lutjanus carponotatus and Epinephelus quoyanus caught with soft plastic and hard‐bodied lures

Abstract: Recreational fishing gear continues to evolve, and factors such as anatomical hooking location may change over time due to technology creep. We revisited studies conducted in 1996 by re-examining hooking location in experiments where hard-bodied and soft plastic lures were presented to stripey (Lutjanus carponotatus) and wire netting cod (Epinephelus quoyanus) either with or without application of a synthetic fish attractant. These data were compared to those of fish hooked on organic bait using circle or J-st… Show more

“…SPLs mimic the size, shape, and swimming behaviour of animal prey but are unlikely to smell or taste like food (i.e., organic matter) unless a chemical attractant is used (Diggles et al, 2022) or the plastic is colonised by microbes (Savoca et al, 2016). It should be noted however that we only tested one type of non-biodegradable SPL made of TPE.…”

“…Biodegradable SPLs may have been consumed more than any other SPL tested as they contain a chemical attractant (Berkley, 2023). Chemical attractants enhance the ingestion of SPLs by fish (Diggles et al, 2022), and it is possible these chemicals also stimulate feeding in invertebrates. This may also explain why biodegradable SPLS that had been conditioned dry for 7 days were consumed by both P. novaehollandiae and M. longicarpus at a higher rate than new biodegradable SPLs or biodegradable SPLs condition in seawater for 7 days.…”
