Normally, for each offshore fishing trip, fishermen stay at sea for a minimum of 4 days, a maximum of 12 days. Fishermen said that boats that are lucky enough to catch a catch early will return to port early and earn a lot of profit; on the contrary, boats that spend many days at sea will earn little profit, or even lose money, if they catch little seafood.
