A preliminary study on the potential use of an alternative bait for demersal longline fishery; Sepietta sp.
Abstract
Abstract: : This study was carried out between September 2007 and April 2008 in the Aegean Sea with an experimental longline. Traditional baits such as Sardina pilchardus and Solen vagina were used with Sepietta sp. which is a discarded species from Aegean Sea demersal trawl fishery. 438 individuals belonging to 6 families were obtained and they totally weighed 43.1 kg. It was determined that almost half of the specimens were captured by Sepietta sp. Furthermore individuals caught by this alternative bait composed 45% of the total catch in terms of weight. Results showed that Sepietta sp. was the most efficient bait among all baits used in the study. The use of this species as a bait in longline fishery has also another importance from the perspective of evaluating a trawl discarded species.
