| Abstract: | <p> A set of scales was created, the "Modified Conibear Scales" which can be used as a basis of comparison to rate the performance of other traps in the areas of impact energy, closing time and clamping force. Further, a detailed set of secondary non quantitative characteristics was presented.</p> <p> Using the above information, several promising traps were rated in order to assess these scales, give some immediate results and indicate promising traps or trap features. Further work in the field was facilitated by providing a detailed experimental procedure, complete lists of data and a calibrated trap for animal research.</p> |
