LOBSTER TRAP

Here is a typical lobster trap. It costs about $70 and it is comprised of two main areas. One is called the "kitchen" where the bait, usually of fish, is hung and the lobster can enter the trap to get some food. Then there is an area called the "bedroom". This is where the lobsters are trapped. The black rectangular shapes on the lobster traps allow the juvenile lobsters to escape the trap because they aren't legal for being caught and eaten.
