Abstract:

Baited pots are an attractive gear choice when gear-switching because they are fuel efficient\, species -selective\, produce low seabed impacts\, yield high quality fish\, and of fer low discard mortality of nontargeted species. This talk will review fi sh behaviour toward baited pots. It will consider the behaviour of fish in three phases. Fish must first sense and be attracted to the gear. Once th ey have located the gear\, they must decide to enter\, which is followed b y retention of correct species and sizes of fish. Each phase of the captur e process involves a suite of senses\, reactions\, and choices.

Pa ul grew up in a small farm town in south-central Ontario. In 1991 he mov ed to Halifax to undertake a BSc in Marine Biology and Oceanography from D alhousie University. He then moved to St. John’s in 1996 to start grad uate school at Memorial University. He completed an MSc under the superv ision of Pingguo He\, followed by PhD under the supervision of Stephen Wal sh.

He joined in the Marine Institute in 2003\, and in 2005 bec ame Director of the Centre for Sustainable Aquatic Resources\, which is pa rt of the School of Fisheries.
