Description
A lobster trap is a portable trap that traps lobsters or crayfish and is used in lobster fishing in europe and globally A lobster trap can hold several lobsters these traps can be constructed of wire and wood, or metal and netting or rigid plastic. An opening permits the lobster to enter a tunnel of netting or other one way device. Pots are sometimes constructed in two parts, called the "chamber" or “kitchen”, where there is bait, and exits into the “parlour”, where it is trapped from escape.
