Commercial Fishing - A Day in the Life of a Commercial Crab Fisherman | The Fish Locker
Today I join Jamie and his crewman Ryan on the Commercial Fishing Emily K out of Mylor. I am spending a day in the life of a Cornish Crab fisherman. We work their commercial crab and lobster pots and land the catch to the local fish market in Falmouth.

The spider crabs do apparently move along together and even climb over the newly molted soft shelled amoungst them to protect them from preditors at a vulnearable time!
