I've read that a barbel can digest a lump of meat in 8 hours in water at
68F, at 37F this takes about a week. Interesting, eh?

Jim.
Hi Jim,

Certainly meat is considered a summer bait amongst carp fishermen. In the
autumn and winter a switch is made to more readily digestible
food(s)/bait(s) ..... better for both carp and results.

The same would apply to barbel and other species to a greater or lesser
degree.
