New way of capturing the Maya octopus (Octopus maya): the use of artificial lures in Yucatan peninsula, Mexico
View through CrossRef
The use of artificial lures for Maya octopus fishing in the Celestún area of Yucatan is described for the first time. These lures are constructed from various materials, including wood, various plastics (PET or PVC), epoxy resin, and ethylene vinyl acetate foam. The lures are used by a large portion of commercial fishermen in the area, as they reduce fishing costs and maintain fishing yields. Studies are needed to evaluate the efficiency of each type of artificial lure and the effects of their use on the octopus population and its environment.
