Fish pot

A pot for catching fish, the pot comprising:

• a frame structure comprising
• a main frame structure, and
• an extendable top frame structure connected to the main frame structure so as to be movable relative to the main frame structure;
• and
• a plurality of mesh panels attached to the frame structure so as to prevent fish from entering the fish pot and escaping the fish pot through the plurality of mesh panels,
• wherein the plurality of mesh panels includes
• first mesh panels directly attached to the main frame structure, the first mesh panels being configured to prevent fish from entering and escaping the fish pot through the first mesh panels and comprising at least one first entrance for fish to enter the pot, wherein the at least one first entrance is a one way entrance which prevents fish from escaping from the fish pot through the at least one first entrance, and
• second mesh panels directly attached to the extendable top frame structure, the second mesh panels being configured to prevent fish from entering and escaping the fish pot through the second mesh panels and comprising at least one second entrance for fish to enter the pot, wherein the at least one second entrance is a one way entrance which prevents fish from escaping from the fish pot through the at least one second entrance,
• wherein the extendable top frame structure includes a plurality of floating elements arranged so as to move the extendable top frame structure upward relative to the main frame structure when the pot is descending in water toward a sea floor, and so as to maintain the extendable top frame structure in an extended position when the pot is resting on the sea floor or is in a fishing position in the water, to thereby increase an internal volume of the pot for increasing a fishing capacity of the pot.
