Work a string of crab pots on a rolling deck: haul the pot, sort the catch — returning undersize crab and egg-bearing (berried) females — re-bait, and deploy before the next pot comes up. Covers US commercial fishing regulations under 46 CFR Part 28, the legal minimum size requirements for Dungeness and king crab, and the USCG fishing vessel stability and life-saving equipment requirements.
A tribute to the men and women of the US commercial fishing fleet — the most dangerous peacetime occupation by fatality rate. This game captures the rhythm of a pot-hauling operation and the regulatory discipline required to run a legal fishery.
