lobsterpot
Seafloor baited cage
A lobsterpot is a cage-like trap used to catch lobsters, typically made of wood slats or wire mesh with a funnel-shaped entrance that allows lobsters to enter but makes escape difficult.
The traps are baited, weighted, and lowered to the ocean floor, then retrieved by hauling on an attached line marked by a surface buoy.
Rows of colorful buoys bobbing offshore are a familiar sight in lobster-fishing regions.
Also spelled as two words: lobster pot.
