Allosmerus is a monotypic genus of smelt. Its sole species, Allosmerus elongatus , the whitebait smelt , is an uncommon Northeast Pacific smelt, about which little is known. [ 1 ] Originally described as both Osmerus attenuatus and O. elongatus , these two species were determined to be conspecific in 1946. [ 2 ]
The bait used is normally anything from the surrounding environment which the whiting naturally prey on, with polychaetes, bivalves, crustaceans such as prawns and crabs, cephalopods and small fish effective for most species. As with most species, live bait is known to produce better catches.
The wholesale price is typically $60–$70 per kilogram ($27–$32/lb), but the retail price can be up to $140 per kilogram ($64/lb). [25] It is normally sold fresh in small quantities, although some are frozen to extend the sale period. Nevertheless, whitebait can normally only be purchased during or close after the netting season.
