HDPE Aquaculture Trap Cage Square Ocean Crab Pot Plastic Fish Bait Net Metal Coating Frame Shrimp Fishing Lobster Fishers Ocean

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Versatile Crustacean Capture: Designed to efficiently catch crabs, lobsters, shrimp, and fish using a multi-compartment structure that separates species and sizes for optimal yield.
  • Durable Construction: Built with HDPE plastic and a corrosion-resistant metal-coated frame, ensuring longevity in marine environments while maintaining structural integrity.

Key features

  • 1. Durable HDPE & Metal-Coated Frame

  • With high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and a corrosion-resistant metal-coated frame, ensure long-lasting durability in harsh marine environments*. This combination outperforms traditional galvanized steel traps in resisting rust and UV degradation*.

  • 2. Multi-Compartment Design for Efficient Sorting

  • With a rectangular, multi-compartment structure, easily sort catches by size or species, reducing escape rates and improving yield efficiency*. The open-top design simplifies bait placement and retrieval compared to single-chamber traps*.

  • 3. Tightly Woven HDPE Mesh for Versatile Catching

  • With ultra-fine, tightly woven HDPE mesh, effectively trap small to medium-sized crustaceans like shrimp, crabs, and lobsters*. The mesh is 30% finer than standard traps, minimizing escape opportunities*.

  • 4. Adaptable for Commercial & Recreational Use

  • Designed for both shallow-water fishing and commercial operations, this trap balances stability and portability*. Its square/rectangle shape ensures stable placement on ocean floors while being lightweight for easy deployment*.

  • 5. Marine-Safe Material Compliance

  • Constructed with food-grade compatible materials and corrosion-resistant coatings, meet international marine safety and eco-friendly standards*. Ideal for sustainable aquaculture practices*.

Customization guide

Adjustable parameters:

  • Compartment size: Tailor to target species (e.g., smaller compartments for shrimp, larger for lobsters).
  • Mesh aperture: Modify to exclude undersized or non-target species.
  • Bait compartment: Reinforce with thicker HDPE for prolonged bait retention.

With its modular design, this trap excels in commercial fishing operations, conservation research, or recreational crabbing. For example, fisheries can use larger compartments to sort legal-sized crabs, while researchers can deploy smaller apertures to study juvenile populations without overharvesting.

Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • The Pro Model’s UV-resistant composite mesh extends lifespan by 30% in tropical waters.
    • Advanced Model’s 5 adjustable compartments enable species-specific sorting without manual post-harvest separation.
    • Base Model’s lightweight HDPE reduces deployment effort by 20% compared to traditional steel traps.
  2. Optimal Version Selection:

    • Recreational Fishers: Base Model suffices for occasional use in calm waters.
    • Commercial Fisheries: Advanced Model’s adjustable compartments streamline size-selective harvesting.
    • Research/Conservation: Pro Model’s durability and modular design support long-term field studies.

With the Pro Model’s 15-year corrosion resistance, you can operate in harsh saltwater environments without frequent replacements. Pair its UV-resistant mesh with smaller apertures to target juvenile species, enabling sustainable resource management.
