The solunar theory is a hypothesis that fish and other animals move according to the location of the moon in comparison to their bodies. [1] The theory was laid out in 1926 by John Alden Knight, but was said to be used by hunters and fishermen long before the time it was published.
The lunar fusilier is targeted by fisheries in all areas in which it occurs. Fishermen use drive-in nets, gillnets, seine nets and fish traps to catch it. The catch is sold as fresh fish. This species is vulnerable to overfishing and has declined in some areas, but in many parts of its range it remains common. [1]
These organisms migrate up into shallower water at dusk to feed on plankton. The layer is deeper when the moon is out, and can become shallower when clouds pass over the moon. [10] Sampling via deep trawling indicates that lanternfish account for as much as 65% of all deep sea fish biomass. [3]

The approximate lunitidal interval can be calculated if the moonrise, moonset, and high tide times are known for a location. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Moon reaches its highest point when it is southernmost in the sky. Lunar data are available from printed or online tables. Tide tables forecast the time of the next high water.
Earth's orbit will temporarily capture a mini moon — a tiny asteroid called Asteroid 2024 PT5. ... The vast majority of sky-watchers in Illinois and anywhere else in the world will not be able ...
It’s already that time of year again. Lent begins Wednesday, Feb. 22, and with it comes the need to find those places to catch some fish on Fridays. And you won’t even need any bait.
A full moon sinking behind San Gorgonio Mountain, California, on a midsummer morning. Moonrise and moonset are times when the upper limb of the Moon appears above the horizon and disappears below it, respectively. The exact times depend on the lunar phase and declination, as well as the observer's location.
