This study aimed to determine the impact of hook and bait type on catch composition per unit effort. Effects types composition, effort (CPUE), length weight distributions in demersal longline fishery were determined by experimental surveys sets Aegean Sea. A total 12 samplings corresponding 4800 fishing performed between April 2014 September 2014. Two types; sardine (Sardina pilchardus) grooved...

Over the past few decades, magnetoreception has been discovered in several species of teleost and elasmobranch fishes by employing varied experimental methods including conditioning experiments, observations of alignment with external fields, and experiments with magnetic deterrents. Biogenic magnetite has been confirmed to be an important receptor mechanism in some species, but there is ongoin...

In the present study, our aim was to compare physiological and behavioural responses to different noxious stimuli to those of a standardized innocuous stimulus, to possibly identify aversive responses indicative of injury detection in a commercially important marine teleost fish, the Atlantic cod. Individual fish were administered with a noxious stimulus to the lip under short-term general anae...
