Abstract
Fishing efficiency of lobster traps relies on various factors like design, shape and material
of the trap and bait used. investigations on suitable design for lobster trap was attempted
using six different designs such as rectangular with synthetic webbing, rectangular with steel
wire, hemispherical, circular, semi-cylindrical and trapezoidal. The fishing efficiency of the
traps differed significantly (p<0,01). Semicylindrical trap performed well by trapping 53
numbers of lobsters in 30 fishing operations.
