Description

Traps, large stationary nets, are gears in which the octopus are retained or enter voluntarily and will be hampered from escaping. They are designed in such manner that the entrance itself became a non-return device, allowing the fish to enter the trap but making it impossible to leave the catching chamber. Other types of traps are provided with large guiding panels made from netting to lead the fish into the catching chamber. Different materials are used for building a trap: wood, split bamboo, netting wire are some examples.

Vintage fishing octopus trap, cylindrical type with original netting and ropes. There are two circular outer rings and four wooden supports to hold the net open.
