“…Lobster and crabs caused extensive damage to the net envelopes around the artificial gypsum baits (Mackie et al, 1980), and while 20-30% of fish baited pots were empty of bait after 24 h only 7% were missing in those with artificial bait targeting crabs (Dale et al, 2007). In our case the artificial baits were almost completely intact and their performance should be further examined over longer soaking times, as it is common in several crustacean pot fisheries, where they might prove more effective than fish.…”

“…Early field experiments conducted in Scotland (Mackie et al, 1980) demonstrated that it was possible to attract and catch lobster Homarus gammarus and edible crabs Cancer pagurus by releasing a mixture of chemicals or fish extract from an inert support medium (gypsum) in the form of artificial bait. Catches in pots containing artificial baits were 50-100% as high as those baited with flounder Pleuronectes platessa.…”

“…Whether seeking natural prey or bait in fishers' traps, lobsters primarily follow odour plumes released from the food source (Mackie 1973;Moore et al 1991). To our knowledge, only two studies have tested the relative attractiveness of natural or artificial baits, with little or no differences found amongst most baits (Mackie et al 1980;Daniel & Bayer 1987a). Instead, efforts have focused on lobster responses to chemical constituents (e.g.…”
