| Summary: | cod trap n In shape a cod-trap is very like a house, with a large door at which the fish can enter. In the water it is 15 fathoms square on the ground plan, and 10 to 12 fathoms deep, the mesh of the net being 7 inches. The trap is set in 10 to 12 fathoms of water, and a long net stretching land- wards, and called a "leader", guides the fish in at the front door.This effective trap is hauled up twice a day, and generally it will contain any- thing from 1 to 150 quintals of fish.
