| Definition | A portable light trap used to attract small animals at nighttime. The LED light trap has a large float on top to keep it upright in the water column and a weight at the very bottom to keep a large jug submerged in the water near the surface. Large funnels are attached to the sides of the jug that allow animals to swim in, but not out. At night, a timer inside the trap turns on a strip of LED lights, attracting animals to the trap. When pulling the trap out of the water, the sample drains through a cod-end, which helps filter the water out while collecting the animals. This style of light trap was originally designed by marine scientist, Dr. Alan Shanks to study larval Dungeness crab on the outer coast of Oregon and Washington. | ||
