ABSTRACT:
A crab trap is provided and consists of a plurality of guide members coupling a flange of a top portion of a perforated enclosure to a base member and plurality of buoyant doors, each of which are slideably supported on two guide members. When the crab trap is submerged within water the doors will float up to the flange of the top portion opening the crab trap allowing a crab to enter. A flexible hoist line is connected to each corner of the top portion of the enclosure. When the crab trap is pulled up the water acting on the top of the door surface will push down the doors and thus the crabs are entrapped within the crab trap.
