In this study, we proposed a simple and rapid evaluation method for identifying feeding stimulants of baits for Japanese crucian carp. Sponges soaked with a test liquid were hung in the test tank. The feeding stimulus effect was derived from the pecking counts of the sponges. The pecking counts were measured in six test series for ten min, and the results were analyzed by t-test. The pecking counts for the commercial pellet extract and an extract of baked wheat gluten 'Fu' in Japanese, were respectively statistically higher than control by t-test (P0.01) , which suggested the validity of this evaluation method.
