Snypa Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Was doing my daily browsing this morning, came upon this "Fish Calling" article in Wired's website, what will these scientists come up with next ? No Bait! Fish May Respond to Sound By JAY LINDSAY Associated Press Writer AP Photo AP Photo/Steven Senne Buy AP Photo Reprints Your Questions Answered Ask AP: Passport Files, Picking Nominees BOSTON (AP) -- Call them Pavlov's fish: Scientists are testing a plan to train fish to catch themselves by swimming into a net when they hear a tone that signals feeding time. If it works, the system could eventually allow black sea bass to be released into the open ocean, where they would grow to market size, then swim into an underwater cage to be harvested when they hear the signal. http://news.wired.com/dynamic/stories/P/PA...-03-26-11-04-23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoty Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 This reminds me of my favorite episode of Sesame Street when I was a kid. Bert & Ernie (no they are not gay), sitting in the boat.... Bert couldnt catch a darn thing, meanwhile Ernie is sitting there yelling "Here...fishy...fishy...fishy....fishy", and they were jumping in the boat!!! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookset Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Bert & Ernie (no they are not gay), sitting in the boat.... Hate to break it to you dude but...They were seen on "Fishing with Shelley and Courtney" Hiding in the bushes, Bert asked Ernie to give him a worm. Courtney hasn't been the same since. Hookset.

Stoty Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I would hate to think that I spent years watching 2 gay puppets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookset Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I would hate to think that I spent years watching 2 gay puppets. You seem well adjusted Stoty...all should be fine. Sorry we hijacked the thread Snypa. That topic you posted sure could change commercial fishing. Maybe for the better if proven. Very Cool. Hookset.

Snypa Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) Stoty, I think you will be fine Hookset, no worries man, I actually got a good chuckle out of your replies, as for the article, yes I think it could really change the ways of the Off-Shore fishermen especially if it really catches on, I'm really liking the conservation side of it, but my thinking is, if they were to implement something like this on a large scale, wouldn't a lot of fishermen be out of work ?? like there wouldn't be a need for fishing trollers etc, since you can just call the fish in ?!? I'll assume they can't do this with crab & lobster etc though. Edited March 31, 2008 by Snypa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
