| Abstract: | Lemon sharks seized lighted grey snappers before seizing the unlighted but otherwise identical grey snappers in ten consecutive observations. Snappers bearing a light embedded in epoxy resin were approached in a straight line attack pattern while (dark) controls were always circled by the shark at least once before attack and seizure. |
