Prawns are taken in a very similar manner ; only, in 

 some localities, the fishermen make use of osier-baskets, 

 or " pots," like those employed in catching lobsters and 

 the nets are usually longer.

 of the order Decapoda, the sub-order Macroura, and the 

 family Crangonidce, allied to lobsters, cray-fish, and prawns.
