Description
The barekbek is a trap that is set in rivers and streams in groups of three or five. All the traps opening are positioned opposite the currents. While shaped similarly with the bubo, the barekbek is much smaller. The barekbek and the bait together are used to catch river fish, shrimp, crabs, and eels. In terms of its function, the fish would enter the wider end of the fish trap, and the funnel would restrict them from escaping, so fisher folk can just stick their arm inside to pull the animal out.
