Answer to the Newsday crossword clue Trap for snaky swimmers featured in the Newsday puzzle is EELPOT.
An eel pot is a type of trap designed specifically to catch eels. It consists of a cylindrical or funnel-shaped container typically made of netting or mesh, with an entrance that allows eels to enter but makes it difficult for them to escape. Eel pots are strategically placed in bodies of water where eels are known to inhabit, such as rivers, streams, or coastal areas.
The design of an eel pot exploits the behavior of eels, which are nocturnal and often seek shelter in crevices or tight spaces. Once inside the pot, the eels are unable to find their way out due to the funnel shape of the entrance, which directs them towards the center of the trap. Fishermen periodically check the eel pots to harvest the trapped eels, which are then used for various culinary purposes or sold commercially.
