Use of ultrasonic telemetry to determine the area of bait influence and trapping area of American lobster,Homarus americanus, traps
2009
New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research
Using ultrasonic telemetry, we measured the distance of attraction to a baited trap and then used this value to calculate the "area of bait influence". This value, along with the mean daily home range for the same animals, was used to calculate the "trapping area" of an individual trap. Lobsters (n = 25) were tracked inside a large underwater mesocosm containing a single baited lobster trap. During the study, 14 of the 25 lobsters approached the trap from a mean (±SEM) distance of 11.0 ± 0.7 m.
