The use of pots in the north Atlantic finfish fisheries is negligible because this fishing method typically has a low capture efficiency. Large numbers of individuals encounter baited pots, but the proportions of fish that enter the pot and become caught are low. Krill, which constitutes an important prey for cod (Gadus morhua), is attracted by light. The catching efficiency of baited cod pots with three light sources with different colours and intensities (white: 9744 mW m , white: 23 mW m , green: 8 mW m ) were tested in coastal waters in northern Norway. Pots with the light source of highest intensity gave a 17 times higher catch rate of cod than that of control pots (with bait only). The light source of medium intensity gave about a five times higher catch rate, whereas the weakest light did not influence the catch. Cod caught in pots with light had more krill and arrowworms in their stomach and were observed feeding on these preys inside the pot. We concluded that light sources of increasing intensity attract more krill, and that cod were attracted into the pot by the dense swarms of prey and not the light per se.

Artificial light in baited pots substantially increases the catch of cod (Gadus morhua) by attracting active bait, krill (Thysanoessa inermis)
