Abstract
The present invention provides a crustacean trap having a top cover and a plurality of substantially planar side panels extending downward from the cover. The top cover and the side panels define an interior space therebetween. At least one side panel may include an aperture adapted to receive a degradable element such that the degradable element substantially obstructs the aperture. The crustacean trap may also include at least one side panel having a one-way pivotable gate opening away from the interior space, with the gate having one or more protrusions spaced apart by a predetermined width.
Claims19
A crustacean trap, comprising:
- a plurality of substantially planar side panels;
- and
- a top cover pivotally coupled to one of the plurality of side panels, the top cover and the side panels defining an interior space therebetween, wherein at least one side panel includes a pivoting gate.
A crustacean trap, comprising:
- a top cover;
- and
- a plurality of substantially planar side panels extending downward from the cover, the top cover and the side panels defining an interior space therebetween, wherein at least one side panel includes an aperture adapted to receive a degradable element such that the degradable element substantially obstructs the aperture, and wherein at least one side panel includes a one-way pivotable gate opening away from the interior space.
A crustacean trap, comprising:
- opposing substantially planar end walls, each end wall including an edge margin disposed along each end of each end wall;
- opposing substantially planar side walls, each side wall including a plurality of tabs disposed along each end of each side wall, wherein the plurality of tabs on each end of each side wall are slidably received by an edge margin of an adjacent end wall;
- and
- a top cover pivotally affixed to one of the end walls, such that the top cover, the opposing end walls, and the opposing side walls define an interior space.
