“…As a consequence, individual fish can develop hook avoidance behaviour through private experiences of hooking (Askey, Richards, Post, & Parkinson, ; Beukema, , ; Klefoth, Pieterek, & Arlinghaus, ; van Poorten & Post, ; Raat, ; Young & Hayes, ). In addition, population‐level catchability has been found to be affected by angling effort without necessarily all fish being hooked and released (e.g., ; Kuparinen, Klefoth, & Arlinghaus, ; Alós, Palmer, Trías, Díaz‐Gil, & Arlinghaus, ; Wegener, Schramm, Neal, & Gerard, ). Experimental pond studies with carp, Cyprinus carpio L. (Beukema, ; Klefoth et al, ; Raat, ), and pike, Esox Lucius L. (Beukema, ), have suggested that social learning might play a role in observed decreases of overall catchability.…”
