Understanding the Hunting Habits of Sea Bass

Introduction

• Topic: Maximizing chances of catching sea bass by understanding its hunting habits and behavior
• Importance: Avoid fishing by chance and learn the predator's behavior

Habitats and Behavior of Sea Bass

• Opportunistic Predator: Found in diverse environments such as cliffs, beaches, ports, and rivers
• Year-Round Presence: Can be caught all year (e.g., calm seas in August or cold rough waters in winter)
• Hunting Windows: Likely during specific atmospheric conditions (e.g., sea agitation)
  • These conditions disorient prey, making them easier targets for sea bass

Hunting Strategy

• Economic Use of Energy: Attacks only when success is high
  • Avoids swimming against strong currents and waves
• Ambush Predator: Positions behind obstacles (e.g., rocks) and waits for opportune moments to launch attacks
  • Returns to position after attacking

Sensory Perception During Hunt

• Vision: Crucial for identifying prey, especially in daylight
  • Detects movements and color changes
• Lateral Line: Important in dark/low visibility
  • Detects movement and vibration
• Hearing: Enhanced by three perpendicular channels
  • Effective as sound travels well underwater

Tactics for Fishing Sea Bass

• Lure Tactics: Lures should not move too quickly across the hunting ground
  • Fast-moving lures make sea bass give up as they require more energy to chase
• Low Visibility Strategy: Use samples that reproduce sounds and vibrations
