Dozens of seagulls fly and follow a snow crab vessel as they try to catch fallen fish from the snow crab catching net.that beautiful seen I saw when I was came to
outdoor area from sleeping quarters below the deck of vessel
“Kisshomaru” during the two days journey in Sea of Japan with commercial
crabs catching fishermen.
It is so easy for sea gull to find their food without tired. But
Echizen crab catching commercial fishermen works not that much easy.
About 35 hours continually works under the freezing wind and during that
long time has a one or half hour rest each three hours. That is the
time of before the pull the crab net. Those small break their use mostly
for sleep in cabin quarters and having their food. Sometime they were
read the Japanese comedian pictures books and take rest for their tired mind.
“Freezing weather hard to work in sea but I so much like to do this
job” said Takahiro Sagawa, 19 years old. “I walk out from my high
education and find this job in this year. Earlier I did some part time
job. “Very difficult to get a job present economic crisis. This is my
first crab catching season,” Said Takahiro.
Snow crab is local name of Echizen crab that crab is one of most
expensive crab in Japan. As well as that crab is so much delicious.
Echizen crab has captured from Echizen city to Mikuni city area at
Fukui prefecture in Sea of Japan that located about 320 kilometers northwest
Tokyo. Every year winter is the season of Echizen crab and this year
November 6 started crab capture up to March 20 of next year.
Male and female crab captured by commercial fishermen that Echizen crabs living about 300 to 400 meters deep in the Sea of Japan.
Minami Teruo, 58 years old last ten years captured crab and he said
how difficult to capture Echizen crab in deep see. “This is difficult
job. Some time I like some time I don’t like to do this job.”
Minami is worried this year crab price is a less and said, “We captured
same quantity of crab but price not as much of last year.”
Commercial Echizen crab catching domestic fisheries market in build
up Meiji period during the 1870. Presently, domestic fishermen catching
about 350 tone of crab and supply domestic fisheries market annually.
