trap (fish trap)

A fish trap is a device designed to catch fish by guiding or confining them in a specific area. Typically made from materials like wood, bamboo, or metal, it features an entrance that allows fish to swim in but makes escape difficult. Fish naturally follow scent trails or migrate through passages, entering the trap where they become trapped. Fish traps are often placed in rivers, lakes, or along the coast, utilizing the fish's movement patterns. They are an efficient and sustainable method of fishing, used for both commercial and subsistence purposes, minimizing harm to the environment when properly managed.
