Folded fish traps for 10 folds increase in fish catching in small or big boats
Two different technologies in fish industry for licensing
0.5 Kg folded fish traps that self expands to 2m x 2m x2m at sea floorincreasing the fish catch by 10 folds. A10 folds increase in fish catching of a small or large fishing boat. The small fishing boat can not use current steel fixed-big size ( 2mx2mx2m) traps that require a winch. The 20Kg steel traps are too heavy for a small boat. The big fishing boat can use 10-times more folding traps to increase their catch by 10 folds.
Live-fish transport carrier at sea or water way, 5 times cheaper than transporting dead fish on ice. www.stealthir.com/fishhttp://www.saferplane.com/fish/ . Distance at sea is up to thousands of miles. Add the live-fish carrier equipment to 4 - 9 – 20 meters boats made of metal, inflateables, composite, plastic, or wood. The equipment cost to 9-meter small fishing boat to become a fishing boat plus live-fish carrier is about $3,000. For a big fishing boat the cost is about $6,000.
The folding fish trap can bring more income to the small fishing boat by increasing its fish catching by 10 folds. In each small fishing boat, the single fisherman can use two sets of 20s of this folding 0.5 Kg trap. The first set of 20 folding traps are launched at one location and a second set of 20 traps at another. A single fisherman can also harvest the catch by hand-rolling the set of traps and emptying the catch in the small boat which is now a live fish carrier too Similarily, if the big fishing boats uses 1 set of 20 steel traps ( fixed big size 2m x 2m x2m, 20 Kg each trap) , it can use 10 sets of the folding trap increasing the daily catch 10 folds.
