ABSTRACT:
A vessel supported shrimp trawl cage system provides a pair of spaced apart nets which are supported at the water surface by the vessel so that a forward end of the net defines a net opening and the rear of the net defines a tail. A pair of cages corresponding to the pair of nets are supported in a partially submerged position by the vessel and have a cage inlet which is forward facing and connects to the tail of the net so that shrimp caught in the net are fed into the cage via the tail of the net. The cage includes a plurality of cage surfaces of preferably rigid perforated material such as expanded metal and are connected at their edges to form an enclosure which confines the shrimp entering the cage from the nets. Confinement is preferably on the top, sides, and bottom as well as the rear so that the shrimp cannot escape by swimming or by jumping from the cage. The rear of the cage provides a removable opening so that trash, fish, small shrimp, or other unwanted marine life can be discharged from the net as desired.
