ABSTRACT:
A marine trap 10 for shrimp, crabs, lobster and the like is disclosed which includes a frame structure 11 defining a top, bottom and a plurality of sides. A net 15 covers frame 11 on its top, bottom and sides to form an enclosure. A mouth 16 and net 15 is formed on the top of the trap 10 to permit entry of suitably sized marine animals. A pair of cables 20 and 21 are hooked by one end to opposite sides of the bottom of frame 11 and by their respective opposite ends to opposite sides of mouth 16 and define an inwardly extending, funnel-shaped top with mouth 16 at the apex of the funnel. To empty trap 10, cables 20 and 21 are released from mouth 16 and trap 10 is inverted. The net 15 falls downwardly into an outwardly extending funnel-shaped position permitting the contents of trap 10 to be poured through mouth 16.
