Fig 2. Description of the device used to measure latency time of marine coastal fish targeted by recreational anglers.

The device was composed of a structure of stainless steel, the camera and a dipstick of 2 m length to which the fishing gear was attached (panel A). Panel B shows the underwater camera used (Go Pro Inc., 2014). Panel C shows a scene of one of the videos obtained. The focal fish (i.e., the fish for which the latency time was measured) is indicated in red. Blue points indicate the other fish present in the scene. The abundance of other fishes was considered as a covariate in the data analysis. White points denote the bait. The fishing gear was maintained vertically by a float located at the upper end of the main line.
