Popis: The relative catching power of three types of pot was examined in aquaria and field trials. The Sunart trap was more efficient in catching goldsinny (Ctenolabrus rupestris (L.)) and rock cook wrasse (Centrolabrus exoletus (L.)) than was the prawn creel or the Norwegian trap; all catches were enhanced by using fish bait. Although the catch rate is lower, the Norwegian pot may still be preferred by fishermen since damage to wrasse is minimised.
