*************

A lobster trap or lobster pot is a portable trap which traps lobsters or crayfish and is used in lobster fishing. A lobster trap can hold several lobsters. Lobster traps were traditionally constructed out of wood but they are now usually plastic. An opening permits the lobster to enter a tunnel of netting. Pots are usually constructed in two parts, called the "chamber" or “kitchen”, where there is bait, and exits into the “parlour”, where it is trapped from escape. Lobster pots are usually dropped to the sea floor about a dozen at a time, and are marked by a buoy so they can be picked up later.
