fish-trap

Underwater capture device

A fish-trap is a device for catching fish that works by allowing them to enter but preventing escape—typically a cage, basket, or enclosure with a funnel-shaped opening.

Fish-traps range from simple woven baskets set in streams to elaborate stationary structures: The old fish-trap had rotted away at the river's edge.
