Crabs are usually caught in pots or traps. Pots are made in forms of cages or baskets in different sizes made from various materials such as wood, wicker, metal rods, wire netting and plastic. Pots usually contain one or more entrances. The pots are set on the bottom of the ocean, some baited with pieces of fish. The crabs will then enter the pots for the bait or use them for shelter.
