Fish traps are devices used to catch fish in a specific area. They can be made from various materials, such as wood, metal, or plastic, and come in different shapes and sizes. Fish traps work by luring fish into a confined space where they cannot escape, making it easier for fishermen to collect them. These traps can be found in many cultures around the world, often designed to suit local fishing practices. Some common types include fish weirs, basket traps, and net traps. Fish traps are considered a sustainable fishing method when used responsibly, helping to maintain fish populations.
