Bus/Financial - Fisheries / Crab capturing device

French term or phrase: le casier

"Le tourteau veut son écolabel, pour afficher ses qualités : produit vivant, ressource saine et exploitée de manière durable, outil sélectif (***le casier***),..."

I'm lost...but this is some kind of box used to capture (fish?) crabs, I should think.

Explanation:
"pot" apparently also used, but not sure of geographic distribution of either term. See Canadian government term bank below (subscriber access only - try via a library)

Reference information:
Alaskan king crab fishing
**Fishermen use a steel box-shaped trap called a pot** which consists of a steel frame covered with a wire mesh. Each pot weighs 600–800 pounds and a ship may carry 150 to 300 pots. [5] Fish, usually herring or codfish, are placed inside as bait and then the pot is sunk to the sea floor where the king crab reside. The pots are dropped in a line for easier retrieval. Red and blue king crabs can be found anywhere between the intertidal zone and a depth of 100 fathoms (180 m). Golden king crabs live in depths between 100 and 400 fathoms (180 and 720 m). The location of the pot is marked on the surface by a buoy which is later used for retrieval. After allowing the pots to rest on the sea floor (typically one to two days for red and blue king crabs, longer for golden king crabs), the pots are dragged back to the surface using a hydraulic crane with a pulley on the end called a "block."
