3.2 Ketam Bubu (Crab pot/trap)
     This type of pot is intended for catching crabs, locally called ketam, but is usually catching fishes as well. The gear is made of netting material mounted on a collapsible frame that is aimed to maximize the space on-board a small boat and manage the gear during operation with ease (see Figure 24). It has two cone-shaped entrances in both sides of the gear. The frame is made of a 4 mm diameter wire cable shaped into oval- shaped base and 2 C-shaped upper frame that is swiveled at the center of the base frame, to hold the netting up in place. The net has a mesh size of about 51 mm stretched made of polyethylene material.
