Abstract
A crab cage assembly includes a cage unit that has several one-way openings defined therethrough so that a crab can enter the cage but will not be able to exit that cage once inside. The one-way openings are formed by cantilever wires that extend into the cage. A signal system is activated when a captured crab pulls on a bait-like element located in the cage, and signals a crabber that a crab has been captured. The signal system includes either a bell or a special transmitter that emits a signal characteristic of the particular cage assembly so that a crabber working several cages will know which cage contains a crab.
