摘要: A field trial (using Rhodamine B and green glitter markers) was carried out to test the preference of a fruit paste bait currently used for possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) control against new formulation constituted improve cohesiveness preservation paste. Bait takes on spit lines, faecal pellets collected from field, post mortem analysis samples all showed be preferred old formulation. We therefore predict that acceptance by possums is greater than in use.
