TL;DR: Analysis of over 27,000 fish bones from strata at Daisy Cave suggests that early Channel Islanders fished relatively intensively in a variety of habitats using a number of distinct technologies, including boats and the earliest evidence for hook-and-line fishing on the Pacific Coast of the Americas.
Abstract: Analysis of over 27,000 fish bones from strata at Daisy Cave dated between about 11,500 and 8500 cal B.P. suggests that early Channel Islanders fished relatively intensively in a variety of habitats using a number of distinct technologies, including boats and the earliest evidence for hook-and-line fishing on the Pacific Coast of the Americas. The abundance of fish remains and fishing-related artifacts supports dietary reconstructions that suggest fish provided more than 50 percent of the edible meat represented in faunal samples from the early Holocene site strata. The abundance and economic importance of fish at Daisy Cave, unprecedented among early sites along the Pacific Coast of North America, suggest that early maritime capabilities on the Channel Islands were both more advanced and more variable than previously believed. When combined with a survey of fish remains from several other early Pacific Coast sites, these data suggest that early New World peoples effectively used watercraft, captured a diverse array of fish, and exploited a variety of marine habitats and resources.

TL;DR: A longline experiment was carried out to evaluate a technique which maintains target catch rates while reducing non-target catch rates, and statistical comparisons were made between the two set types using canonical discriminant analysis (CDA).

TL;DR: The fish hook in hydrocyclone classifiers has been ignored by many or disputed due to its random and sporadic occurrence as mentioned in this paper due to the imprecision of measurement of the actual efficiency and the uncertainty principle/observer effect appear to be main factors in its evolution and partial acceptance.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fish lure is molded of flexible, translucent, soft plastic material into an integral unit in the form of a baitfish, and a wide gap offset fish hook is removably attached and substantially hidden in the lure by a hook slot in the lower longitudinal edge of the lure.
Abstract: A fishing lure molded of flexible, translucent, soft plastic material into an integral unit in the form of a baitfish. Pigments, glitter, scent and flavor additives are mixed with the plastic during manufacture to create realistic visual, smell and taste characteristics. A wide gap offset fish hook is removably attached and substantially hidden in the lure by a hook slot in the lower longitudinal edge of the lure, and by an internal chamber. The internal chamber further serves to allow the body of the lure to collapse when attacked by a fish, exposing the point of the hook, as well as to conceal tube weights, flotation inserts, trap air contributing to the buoyancy and upright positioning of the lure, and to act as a reservoir for liquid fish attractant. The buoyancy and sink rate of the lure can be manipulated by utilizing various combinations of hook sizes, tube weight sizes, and flotation inserts positions into the internal chamber. Realistic movement of the lure is attained through the buoyancy and flexibility of the plastic material, the hydrodynamics of the design, and through rod, reel and fishing line manipulation by the angler.

TL;DR: Analysis of the growth of carp and the capture data indicated that under the experimental conditions of high stocking density, carp that were more vulnerable to angling showed better growth than carp that avoided the hook after a hook experience.
Abstract: . The vulnerability of common carp to angling was studied in a drainable pond of 0–4 ha, stocked near the carrying capacity (700 kg/ha) with known numbers of individually marked carp. The numbers of carp hooked and landed ('caught') by each angler were registered during a period of one month. Landed carp were checked for marks. All carp were returned to the pond. The catch results were analysed with use of a simulation model of a pond fishery. The observed catch and recapture frequencies were compared with the expected values. It was shown that the vulnerability of carp to hooking decreased after one experience with a fish hook. Differences in decreased vulnerability to hooking were found within the carp population. This resulted in unequal recapture sequences for the various groups in the population. Analysis of the growth of carp and the capture data indicated that under the experimental conditions of high stocking density, carp that were more vulnerable to angling showed better growth than carp that avoided the hook after a hook experience. The experiments showed that the decreased vulnerability to the fish hook disappeared when the population was not angled for about one year. The carp acquired the hook avoidance behaviour again after one experience with a hook.
