Seeing Red: Does the Color of a Crab Pot Really Matter?
Knott, Dan
Knott, Dan
Abstract
As part of the VA Fishery Resource Grant Program, I was awarded a grant to conduct a largescale study during the 2017 crabbing season to determine if the color of a crab pot has any affect on catch. The thought behind this study was based on the previous season and seeing a significant difference and trend in the catch of certain crab pots—particularly pots with the color red. Adding to the desire to determine whether color affects catch were the conversations I had with long-time crabbers that all had differing opinions on the topic.
