ABSTRACT:
A crab trap having a tapered body member of either circular or elliptical cross section, the crab trap having a first ingress end and a second egress end, the first ingress end having a cover removably secured thereto having a passageway for permitting entrance into the crab trap of crabs, but preventing the egress of crabs from the crab trap through the front cover, the egress end of the crab trap being open and dimensioned so as to permit undersized crabs to exit the crab trap under their own mobility or to be flushed from the crab trap when the crab trap is retrieved. The crab trap also has both a buoyancy member and a stability member to insure that the crab trap orients itself correctly on the ocean bed or bay bed, whether or not it is dropped or tossed into the water.
