A cephalopod rearing cage capable of maintaining a cephalopod alive, wherein at least a portion of the cephalopod rearing cage is constituted by using a mesh sheet of not less than 4 mesh. Also provided is a cephalopod escape prevention sheet capable of maintaining a cephalopod alive, wherein at least a portion of the cephalopod escape prevention sheet is constituted by using a mesh sheet of not less than 4 mesh.

The present invention relates to a cast net blanket device primarily comprised of at least one base, at least two primary ropes, at least one secondary rope, at least one secondary rope fastener, and a first and second base fastener. During use, the primary ropes can be pulled upward, such that fish are contained within the device, and wherein the secondary ropes can be pulled upward to create two separate areas within the device. One area can store keeper fish, wherein the keeper fish can be easily transferred to a bucket underneath the area via the first base fastener that can be opened and the non-keeper fish can be release by lowering the side of the primary rope where unwanted fish are stored, which allows the blanket to unfold and fall back into the body of water it came from.

Ocean-based gear equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) shares position to either single or multiple users. Position data from an ocean-based device are sent either to a cloud-hosted database or vessel transceiver, then displayed on either a mobile app via multiple login accounts, a vessel-mounted GPS plotter that is capable of sharing data over the internet, or a satellite-connected mobile device capable of receiving and displaying Short Message Service (SMS) messages or emails. The Vessel Transceiver device is designed to share data from gear to vessel via radio frequency, as well as vessel to vessel via satellite network, without internet connectivity. Position data are provided to either one user or multiple users on the ocean or on land via various communication arrangements.

A fishing net support system includes a boat mount configured to be mounted onto a boat hull. A linkage is attached to the boat mount. A receiver can receive a pole of a fishing net. The receiver is mounted on the linkage, such that the linkage allows pivoting between the boat mount and the receiver within a vertical plane.

This application describes a braided cord containing a braided sheath and optionally a core surrounded by the braided sheath. The braided cord has changing cross-sectional area ranging from 0.0004 mm.sup.2 to 30 mm.sup.2 and contains one or more sections having a tapering angle ranging from 1° to 60° when observed in one direction along the cord axis. The change in the cross-sectional area of the cord can be achieved by changing the thickness of the braided sheath and/or changing the cross-sectional area of the core when the core is present. The thickness of the braided sheath can be adjusted by changing the size and/or twist level of one or more sheath strands, changing the pick count of the braided sheath, and/or using one or more shaped sheath strands. This application also describes a process of producing the braided cord with changing cross-sectional area.
