Octopus Technologies

Octopus Technologies

Since its incorporation in August 2004, Octopus Technologies has solely pursued the development and testing of its uniquely designed trigger pot. This dramatically increased the catch rate for octopus fishing whilst offering a substantially lower environmental impact than currently used pot and fishing methods, with the real possibility of creating sustainable octopus fisheries on a worldwide basis.

The trigger pot was designed to catch octopus and only octopus. No other sea creature has the strength or the curiosity to trigger the trap. After all our sea trials and over a year of fishing with the trigger pot in Western Australia, we had never caught another species except for octopus. The trigger pot is superior to all other octopus traps previously used in Western Australia for several reasons.
