10.9   Cover Pot

              This trap is usually operated by one-man in paddy fields, swamps and rivers at knee-depth. When a fish is detected in the water, the fishermen suddenly covers the fish. The cover pot has an opening at the upper portion where the hand could be inserted and take out the fish inside. The lower portion of the pot is open and with other construction lower has a non-return funnel. The gear targets mudfish, goby and other freshwater fish.
