Hitting your quota earlier means you're done with the pots, so don't let the pots sit around doing nothing.<br /><br />I also find articles like this one interesting that describe how taking longer to catch all of the crab has improved the industry. Apparently, "the crew is happier and safer" is a much more important goal than was realized for years!<br />http://money.cnn.com/2012/07/27/pf/jobs/crab-fishing-dangerous-jobs/index.htm Cody Steelehttp://blog.minitab.com/blog/statistics-and-quality-improvementnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267539682365042738.post-85077707224708339292013-06-19T21:32:42.991-04:002013-06-19T21:32:42.991-04:00Yes, I do believe you're right about using the...Yes, I do believe you're right about using the same pots. I'm guessing the cost is pretty high for each of those steel cages. <br />But here's a thought. Since they would be hitting their quota earlier, why not share crab pots with another boat? They could take turns, assuming there's enough crab to go around.

It would be interesting to try to extend the thought experiment to exploring the cost associated with using different pots for different species. It seems like I remember that 29 per pot is pretty good for king crab, but averages of several hundred per pot are good for snow crab. They use the same pots, just modified so that different sizes of crab can get in or out.Cody Steelehttp://blog.minitab.com/blog/statistics-and-quality-improvementnoreply@blogger.com
