A fishing glove/mitt device comprises: a fingers component; a thumb netting support, a flexible netting element between the wearer's fingers and thumb, and a palm-cuff wrap. The wearer of this device can manipulate the netting portion between his/her fingers and thumb to at least partially close it about the fish being caught. An optional net frame support may extend angularly outwardly and upwardly between the thumb and fingers or between side supports of this netting element.

An underwater mobile body includes: a movement control unit that controls movement underwater; a detection unit that moves underwater under the control of the movement control unit and that detects a position of a fish; and a guidance unit that guides the fish based on the position of the fish detected by the detection unit.

The present invention broadly includes an aquatic snare, an outer rod having a distal end and a proximal end, an inner rod having a distal end and a proximal end, the inner rod slidable within the outer rod, a lasso connected to the proximal end of the inner rod, a knob connected to the distal end of the inner rod, the aquatic snare having a locking mechanism, comprising a depressor, selector, and a tension plate, the selector moveable to a locked or unlocked position, where the tension plate configured to restrict forward movement of the inner rod when the selector placed in the locked position, and the tension plate configured to allow unrestricted movement of the inner rod when the selector is placed the unlocked position.

A buoyancy element is for constructing a modular buoyancy system for a circularly shaped net cage. The buoyancy element includes a cage side, an opposite straight long side, and coupling sides between the cage side and the straight long side. The cage side is curved, following the periphery of the net cage.

A magnifying container apparatus including a generally cylindrical member and one or more magnifying lenses is provided for magnifying, viewing, and carrying items. A magnifying lens is detachably connected to the lower end of the cylindrical member to close the lower end. The magnifying lens magnifies the items present below the magnifying lens. The cylindrical member accommodates and carries the items within a space defined by a generally cylindrical wall and between an open upper end and the closed lower end of the cylindrical member. The magnifying container apparatus further includes a threaded rod, a threaded wheel, and a generally cylindrical sieve member. The sieve member drains a predetermined amount of an extraneous element from the magnifying container apparatus, when the threaded rod, in communication with the threaded wheel, traverses the magnifying lens from the lower end of the cylindrical member toward a lower end of the sieve member.

A hand-held underwater net assembly with a snare closure that easily and rapidly closes the netting to prevent fish and crustaceans from escaping. The net assembly ideally includes a brightly colored net closure cord which serves to draw the netting together and close the netting when the snare handle and telescopic draw stem are proximally pulled outward and retracted by a user. The extension of the handle of the net assembly, pulls the netting into a closed position. The brightly colored net closure cord makes it easy for the underwater user to determine when the net is in the closed position and the catch is securely contained within the netting.
