PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a turtle capture device which utilizes a habit of shell-sunbathing of a turtle, does not need a complicated structure, can capture a turtle continuously and efficiently, and can prevent a captured turtle from escaping.SOLUTION: A floating island type turtle capture device is composed of: a bowl-shaped member 10 opened on a bottom face, including a flange 12 on an upper face peripheral part, attached with a capture net 13 in a bottom face opening 11, and formed of a material having a smooth surface and a tabular float member 20 having an opening formed in a flat face center part and attached with a net-like guide plate 22 arranged on a side edge part and enabling a turtle to crawl up thereon. The bowl-shaped member 10 is fitted in the opening of the tabular float member 20 and hung/fixed with the flange 12, and thereby both members are integrated. The floating island type turtle capture device can be arranged while floating on a water surface.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】カメの甲羅干しという習性を利用し、複雑な構造を必要とせず、簡単な構造で、継続して効率よくカメを捕獲でき、捕獲したカメが逃げるのを防止できるカメ捕獲装置を提供する。【解決手段】底面が開口し、上面周縁部にフランジ12が設けられ、底面開口部11には捕獲網13が取り付けられた表面平滑な素材から成るボウル状部材10と、 平面中央部に開口部が設けられ、側縁部にはカメが這い上がり可能なネット状誘導板22が取り付けられた平板状フロート部材20とから構成され、 ボウル状部材10が平板状フロート部材20の開口部に嵌合され、前記フランジ12にて掛止されることで前記両部材が合体されている水面に浮遊させて設置可能な浮島型カメ捕獲装置。【選択図】図1
