LED Lights Turn Fishing Pots Into Shrimp Magnets

Did you know fishing pots with LED lights can catch up to 19x more shrimp? Scientists found that these glowing traps attract zooplankton, which brings in shrimp, and then bigger fish come chasing the shrimp—basically, it’s a seafood buffet in a pot! While it’s not ready for big business yet, this could be a game-changer for sustainable fishing and cutting down on bycatch. Imagine baitless, eco-friendly seafood hauls! #FishingTech #SustainableFishing #OceanInnovation #MarineScience #Finance
