Crab Pots

Rolling green hills and the village of Apollo Bay in the background. Crab Pots – To catch the crabs, fishermen use traps (“pots”) baited with ground herring, squid, sardines and cod, which are dropped below the ocean’s surface. The crabs are caught in rough and freezing water, but supply is limited due to strict quotas. King crab can’t be bred like fish because it takes a crab 7-9 years to get big enough to eat.
