Fish pots are a type of fishing gear designed to catch fish in a passive manner. They are typically made from materials like wire or netting and are shaped like a basket or trap. Fish pots are placed in water, often baited, to attract fish, which then enter the pot but cannot escape. This method is commonly used for catching species such as crabs, lobsters, and various types of fish. Fish pots can vary in size and design depending on the target species and local fishing regulations. They are often used in both commercial and recreational fishing. The use of fish pots is considered environmentally friendly, as they minimize bycatch and allow for selective fishing, helping to sustain fish populations in aquatic ecosystems.
