lobstermen
Pot-pulling seafarers
Lobstermen are people who catch lobsters commercially, typically working from small boats using baited traps.
The term is standard in New England coastal communities regardless of the fisher's gender: Maine lobstermen have been hit hard by warming waters.
The singular lobsterman appears less often than the collective.
