Deadliest Catch fleet
Crab boats are commercial fishing vessels designed for catching crabs, typically equipped with traps or pots that are baited and lowered to the seafloor.
The term gained wider recognition through reality television documenting the dangerous work of Alaskan crab fishing: The crab boats head out into the Bering Sea each season.
