To study the chemosensory sensitivity of fish to odors of natural feeding objects, the standard water extracts of these objects are mainly used. For example, water extracts of bloodworms. Chironomus plumosus, and sludgeworms, Tubifex tubifex, in concentration of 1 gram of crushed invertebrates per 1 liter of pure water, are considered as standard for many cyprinid fish.

The sensitivity of cyprinid fish to these extracts and the corresponding attractive odor zones are given in Table 1. Importantly, at the indicated concentrations (dilutions) of water extracts fish display active feed-searching responses.

The chemosensory sensitivity of cyprinids to water extracts of crustaceans, like water louses, Asellus aquaticus, and molluscs, like zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, are approximately the same.

For more information, see:

Chemosensory sensitivity of some cyprinid fish to natural attractants
Chemosensory sensitivity of some salmonid and acipenserid fish to natural attractants

Using goundbaits with the certain amounts of attractive components, you can calculate the attractive odor zones created by these groundbaits (Table 2).

When the depth at fishing location is more than 3 m, you can calculate an odor zone in the form of semisphere: v = 2πR3/3. More, when the depth at fishing locati ... Read more »
