Re: [Killietalk] Microworms, vinegar eels, bbs, w.h.y.

[Joe Bulterman <jbulterman at yahoo_com>]

Chemicals: chemoreception [Smell and Taste]. Chemoreception is very well developed in the fishes, especially the sharks and eels which rely upon this to detect their prey. Fish have two nostrils on each side of their head, and there is no connection between the nostrils and the throat. The olfactory rosette is the organ that detects the chemicals. The size of the rosette is proportional to the fish's ability to smell. Some fish (such as sharks, rays, eels, and salmon) can detect chemical levels as low as 1 part per billion. 
Fish also have the ability to taste. They have taste buds on their lips, tongue, and all over their mouths. Some fish, such as the goatfish or catfish, have barbels, which are whiskers that have taste structures. Goatfish can be seen digging through the sand with their barbels looking for invertebrate worms to eat and can taste them before they even reach their mouths.

I suspect it's much more a sence of smell rather than taste but the two are intertwined anyway.

LOL!

Also note that fishermen use scented lures of all shapes, sizes and
tastes!
