Does barometric pressure affect the behavior of fish?

Yes. As a general rule, fish are more likely to bite during cool weather when the pressure is falling and less likely to bite under bright skies when the pressure is rising, said Kurt Welke, a fish biologist with the state Department of Natural Resources. Barometric pressure, or the measurement of the weight of air, affects fish in shallow water more than fish in deep water, according to the outdoor website trails.com.

A fish's swim bladder controls its equilibrium, and when the pressure is high the swim bladder compresses and the fish loses its sense of balance. It's believed that fish feel uncomfortable when this happens and are less likely to feed, the website said. Fish are usually seeking cover or moving into deeper waters during high pressure conditions.

Before and after a storm, the pressure is lower and fish tend to be more aggressive in their feeding habits. They may also be more active as pressure begins to rise after low-pressure systems linger for a few days. Fish tend to ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
