ABSTRACT:
The cage has a vertical side wall made of flexible netting. Vertically elongated receptacles are attached to the side walls at spaced intervals, and stiff support rods are inserted into the receptacles to stiffen the sidewall and cause it to stand erect when the cage rests on the ground or the bottom of the body of water. When the stiffeners are removed from the receptacles, the flexible netting and the receptacles bend easily so that the sidewalls can be folded up to flatten the cage and greatly reduce its volume to facilitate transporting, storing, or handling the cage. Preferably, the cage has a simple steel rebar rod frame with an extruded plastic channel around the rebar and holding the edges of netting material forming the top and the sidewall of the cage. Similar channels are used to form the bottom border of the cage. The top of the cage is a flexible flap of the netting material bordered with the channel material and reinforced with rebar rods. The bottom border also is reinforced with rebar rods.
