Abstract: | The “natives” at Rio Indio, on the central Caribbean slope of Panama, trap the river fishBrycon chagrensis using leaves ofPiper auritum as bait in feeders. The people use this technique because the fish tastes like the leaf after it has fed regularly on the leaf. This technique has potential use in aquaculture. The plant could also be cultivated for marketing as a food-flavoring condiment and fish food. |
