Underwater cameras save a lot of time by keeping the guessing work at bay. You can sit there leisurely without having to keep looking here and there in empty places.
Cameras can also help you capture the moment and you can save and share your data with others. It’s a great option, right?
But are you worried about scaring away the fish by using an underwater camera? Do fishes really get scared by your cameras? Scroll down to find out!
Do Underwater Cameras Scare Fish? What to Keep in Mind?
Firstly you must know that these devices are NOT invasive. They don’t disrupt the natural environment of fish. Whether the cameras may scare the fish or not depends on the way you use them.
If you are intrusive you might set the fish into a frenzy and freak them out. But generally, there is no possibility of fish getting scared by an underwater camera.
Myriad things are floating underwater and fishes don’t give a damn about such things. But if you’re gonna drop the camera on them or hit them with it, you are causing trouble and harming them. Don’t do that!
There are some things you need to do to avoid freaking out the fish. First of all, don’t point your camera’s light directly at the fish. Next, be careful not to drop your camera on the fish or hit them. This will cause harm and disturb the fish’s habitat.
So the answer to the question if underwater cameras can scare fish is “maybe”. It depends on the way you choose to use your camera.
Use it with care so that you not only get a greater catch but remember you also have the responsibility of being eco-friendly. Be aware of the problems of technological intervention in ecosystems and use them accordingly.
