Abstract:
Multipurpose fishing trap's element (100), reticular and funnelled, comprising, in the side of the bigger base, a collar provided with two opposed perimetric channels and, in the tip's side, means (300) for the cables. It is made by injection in plastic and cut partially, defining a discharge mouth (110) that opens and closes, or totally, defining an opening (109). A body (200) with a sheath (201) for bait, is fixed, by its extremes, to two of those elements (100) , one of them facing the inside of the body and the other the outside, thus defining a fishing trap. The assembly of the trap is made placing the said extremes in the cited channels and fastening them with rapid fastening means inserted in grooves. One fishes with the trap hanging vertically, without being placed on the bottom.

Abstract:
Present invention relates to a multi-branch net box trap (1) comprising a plurality of symmetrically arranged individual net box trap branches (2) radially extending from a common centre (C), wherein each net box trap branch comprises a trap body (9) comprising in said trap body a trap mouth (3), followed by at least one narrowing (6), a trap box (7) and a closure (8). Between the trap bodies of the box trap branches there are guide fences (10) directed in the direction of the common centre, and the trap mouths of the box trap branches face the common centre. The trap mouth wings (4) of the branches form a common fish court (11) between the branches. The common fish court is divided by the internal guide fences (12) radiating from the common centre into equal parts.
Abstract:
A fishing trap runner and fishing trap incorporating the runner, the runner comprising a rubber casing having a core. The core, which may be sectional, provides weight so that the runner can serve as ballast for the fishing trap. The rubber casing protects the core from damaging the trap or fishing equipment and, if the core is sealed by the casing, protects or limits the core from water damage.
Abstract:
Bait for attracting crustaceans and non-crustaceans which are caught in trap fishery. The bait includes a pelletized carrier composed of ingredients intended for long life in sea water. The pelletized carrier is mixed with specific attractants depending on the desired catch and a fish oil is added to coat the pellets and attractant and to allow for the timed release of the attractant. In experiments to date, it has been found that the use of the pelletized carrier and attractant together with the fish oil coating has been effective as a bait in attracting catch and has an extended life within the traps.
