Cernia of seabed

Habitat

The cernia of seabed, lives at high depth. Rarely is below 100 metres deep, but is most common between 350 and 700 meters. Not necessarily living on rocky bottoms, or rather its habitat appears to be that of the muddy bottom, where it feeds on crustaceans and fish deep.

Fishing

This fishing exclusively bolentino high depth, using electric reels or salpabolentini. Because of its size, usually considerable, equipment used for its fishing should be very powerful. Adapt terminals for large prey. The groupers, nine times out of ten, attacking the bait closer to the lamp stroboscopica, consequently comporremo the terminal in view of that. From the lamp from a piece of the first beam of 140-160 that connects to the first girella, larger than the other, will also be the first armrest with a diameter of the beam, 20-25 cm long and with a love of 8 / 0 - 9 / 0. The friend from grouper must have a good section and the tip falling to claw eagle. Damage excellent results the Circle Hook. As a predator, it feeds on fish and cephalopods, and then you can trigger whole squid, octopus, mackerel and maccarelli, sardines a tuft or do triggers mixed with the head of totano and sardines. The rest of the terminal can compose with beam of 120 and armrests, 100, but will be used hooks to the Grand Chamber measuring 3 / 0 - 4 / 0, so that it can withstand the tension of grouper, but also ferrare the eyes. To make the terminal more visible, in addition to the lamp may be given other forms of lighting, as star light or fluorescent beads. Many fishermen, already navigati to avoid taking too many groupers, use steel hooks, with thin section that groupers open with ease, so as to sort the catch and take only eyes and other small fish. This is a mature and sporting behavior that avoids unnecessary massacres of large groupers.

Size

The average size present in our waters is between 10 and 20 kilograms. The larger specimens can reach and exceed 50 kilograms. The main consideration to be done is that a grouper to reach this size takes about thirty years, unlike the tuna and ricciola which are much faster to reach a good size, and then indiscriminately large specimens taken from a dried up to impoverish the disappearance of this species.
