DESCRIZIONE
An agent and method for inducing food search behavior in fish and other aquatic life forms is disclosed. The agent comprises one or a combination of amino acids. The agent may be applied to or incorporated with a wide variety of baits, lures or other carriers. When immersed in water, the loading of the agent combined with the porosity of the carrier will cause an optimal flux rate of dispersion in the water that will stimulate involuntary food search behavior in fish and other aquatic life forms.
