fishing crews
Boat-based catchers
Fishing crews are the groups of workers who operate commercial fishing vessels.
The term encompasses everyone aboard—from the captain to deckhands—who collectively catch, process, and transport fish.
Crew size varies from two or three on small boats to dozens on industrial trawlers.
The fishing crew worked through the night hauling in nets.
