Question - What determines the price of
fish?
Answer - The price of fish is determined
by the Market price. The market price
is determined by the big fish companies
like Omstead's and the markets in large
cities like New York and Detroit. From
this one can see that a fishery must sell
its fish at market price and not at a
lower price because the crew would de-
mand their share or pay based on market
prices. If perch are selling at a
market price of $4.00 a pound, they
are not going to accept pay at $3.50
a pound.
Question - What are some of the major
operating problems today?
Answer - Diesel fuel is very expensive
today. If boats have to travel a dis-
tance to and from the fishing area it
is expensive. Also the high interest
rates make operating with credit clients
very expensive. We have to borrow
money to pay wages while we wait to be
paid for our fish.
Question - When does the fishing season end?
Answer - The fishing season usually ends
around Christmas. During the winter
we are open a few days a week selling
frozen fish. People who want fish can
usually get in touch with us even if
we are closed.
