13. Harvesting Shell fish Pot Fishing Pots or traps, are fished on the bottom from single lines and buoys, with one pot per line, or from long lines, with several pots to a string and buoys marking either end of the “set.” Lobsters and most crab species are captured by the former method (single pots). A wire lobster pot may weigh less than 10 pounds, while a king crab trap can weigh 500 pounds. Pot fishing is highly selective, and the product is landed alive for maximum quality. Dredging This method used for capturing shellfish, primarily scallops, clams, oysters and mussels. A dredge is essentially a metal “rake” that’s drug across the ocean bottom, scraping up shellfish in its path. The shellfish are collected and held in a chain-mesh bag. Dredges vary from hand-operated to much larger, hydraulically operated versions like those used for harvesting sea scallops and surf clams.
