Extra credit…………….
1-We visited processing the commercially caught lobster Co-op. It was a pandemonium of activity.
Time was of an essence, so about 100 or so workers worked feverishly to get the bugs from the pangas to the tubs on the ship.
2-Three to four baskets at a time were lifted from the pangas to the separation area.
3-These baskets where the catch was held were kept in the ocean until the time for transport.
Otherwise, when the fishermen caught lobsters in their traps they would transfer them to these baskets for safe and fresh keeping in the ocean.
4-The baskets are put on these tables and each lobster was given a quick exam. Any lethargic bug that would not vigorously kick its tail was put in a reject box.
5-The lobsters were initially measured by the fishermen, but any that looked to be short was again measured.
6-The accepted lobsters were put in a separate basket and handed over to the middleman who passed them to the ship are held in baskets in these tubs during the
transportation with constant recycling of their water.
