A dip net provided with lockable hoops capable of being folded leftwards and rightwards comprises a net rod, a hoop mounting base mounted on the net rod, and hoops including a left hoop and a right hoop, wherein mounting plates are arranged on the left side and the right side of the hoop mounting base, and two rotary bases are arranged at the rear end of the left hoop and the rear end of the right hoop and are hinged to the mounting plates through rotary shafts. The left hoop and the right hoop can be folded and are independently connected to the hoop mounting base, so that assembly is convenient; and the size can be reduced for transportation and carrying, so that carrying storage are facilitated.

A fisheries bycatch reduction device is disclosed which may be coupled to or positioned proximate to a net. The device includes a housing and an electrical assembly positioned within the housing. The bycatch reduction device uses a power management strategy to control illumination and charging to create a hassle free, readily deployable substitute for traditional buoys and reduces the unintended catch of non-desired marine life.
