A commercial fishing vessel is at sea. The back deck is loaded with several dozen squat round traps made of orange netting. In the foreground are metal fish sorting bins, orange mesh bait bags, and blue plastic fish totes. Along the left side of the vessel are coils of rope in a gear deployment contraption. There is a slight chop to the water and the sky is blue and cloudless. An Atlantic deep-sea red crab fishing vessel at sea. Credit: NOAA Fisheries/Robert Bland
