Pots, traps or ‘creels’ include a variety of designs which take the form of cages or baskets with one or more openings or entrances, with or without bait. Animals enter though a one-way opening and then can’t escape. They are usually set on the seabed, either singly or in rows, and are connected by ropes (buoy lines) to buoys on the surface to show their position.
