ABSTRACT:
A crab trap includes a trap portion and a pneumatic actuator and control apparatus with a predetermined length of flexible, hollow tubing connected therebetween. The trap portion includes at least one clam shell-shaped trap cover which is held in an open position by a pivoting latch. To release the trap cover from the open position, the user squeezes a bladder contained within the pneumatic actuator and control apparatus, thereby inflating a bladder in the latch. As the latch bladder inflates, the latch pivots upwards, ultimately releasing the trap cover which then snaps to the closed position. The flexible tube is used to raise and lower the trap portion as well as to provide a pneumatic conduit between the actuator and the trap portion.
