Aquatic traps are devices designed to capture aquatic organisms, such as fish, crustaceans, and other marine life. These traps can be made from various materials, including nets, cages, and baskets, and are often used in both commercial and recreational fishing. They work by luring organisms into a confined space where they cannot escape. These traps can vary in design depending on the target species and the environment. For example, fish traps may use bait to attract fish, while crab traps often feature specific openings that allow crabs to enter but not exit. Proper use of aquatic traps can help manage fish populations and support sustainable fishing practices.
