ABSTRACT:
A trap for marine life having a top member of annular configuration with the center area covered with netting, a similarly configured bottom member also covered across the center area with netting, and similarly configured intermediate members provided with side netting extending between said top and bottom members. An elastic member is provided substantially midway of the side netting for the purpose of effecting collapse thereof and to keep the side netting folded in an orderly manner when collapsed. In one embodiment, flexible ropes interconnect the top and bottom members. In other embodiments, guide structure connects between the top and bottom members to provide guide channels in which at least one of the intermediate members supporting the collapsible side netting may move. Additional side netting structure may be provided suspended from the top member for covering any gaps between the said top member and the side netting when only partially closed. Additional features include a double eye rope loop terminal member, double cross rods supporting a double reflector type chemical light for attracting marine life to the trap, and various insulating and noise deadening features associated with the trap. The guide channel structural elements are provided in various forms including rigidly attached rods, removable rods with special guides and catch retainer members, and pivotally mounted and foldable guide rod devices.
