No Typical Job
Crab fishing is not your standard 9-5 job. The fishermen who choose to specialize in crab fishing brave freezing cold water 24 hours a day until they have reached the crab quota for that day.
Safety Hazard
Crab fishing is no easy feat, and it can become quite dangerous as well. It is actually considered to be one of the most dangerous jobs overall. In the early 2000s, it was decided that new regulations must come into place in order to improve conditions for fishermen and prevent unnecessary fatalities.
