\n

Olympic Metals Ltd. was the first company to manufacture crab traps in the Maritimes. When production began in the late 1970s, the traps were square and measured 5 or 6 feet.<\/p>\n

Our welders were Jean-Pierre LeBouthillier, who is still with us, and André Ferron (now retired).<\/p>\n

The traps are manufactured from smooth steel at our plant, and the netting is then installed by the fisherman or at another plant.<\/p>\n

In recent years, we have been making between 1,600 and 2,000 traps annually.<\/p>\n

Since the early 2000s, the shape of the traps has changed from square to round. The sizes vary depending on the fishermen’s needs, ranging from 36 inches to 40 inches, 6 feet, 6½ feet and 7 feet.<\/p>\n

Our peak production runs from early January to the end of March and then again from late August to mid-November. This schedule benefits us since we are not that busy with rebar production at these times of the year.<\/p>\n

The snow crab fishery begins as the ice melts in early April and ends when each fisherman has reached his quota (by mid-June).<\/p>\n

We hope to see you during crab fishing season!<\/p>\n

Nasas para cangrejos de nieve<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Olympic Metals Ltée fue la primera empresa que empezó a producir nasas para cangrejos en las Marítimas. Todo comenzó a finales de la década de los setenta. Las primeras nasas eran cuadrados de 5-6 pies.<\/p>\n

Nuestro soldador era, y lo es todavía, Jean-Pierre LeBouthillier acompañado de André Ferron (ya jubilado).<\/p>\n

Las nasas son fabricadas con el acero liso de nuestra fábrica y la instalación de la red la hace después el pescador o se realiza en nuestra fábrica.<\/p>\n

En los últimos años, fabricamos entre 1600 y 2000 nasas por año.<\/p>\n

Las nasas cambiaron de forma a principios de los años 2000 para convertirse en nasas redondas. Los tamaños varían según el pescador; van de 36 pulgadas a 7 pies, 40 pulgadas, 6 pies y 6 pies-6 pulgadas.<\/p>\n

Nuestra gran producción se realiza de principios de enero a finales de marzo y recomienza hacia finales de agosto, hasta mediados de noviembre. Esta situación nos favorece porque nuestra producción de acero de refuerzo no es muy elevada durante este periodo del año.<\/p>\n

La pesca del cangrejo de nieve empieza con el deshielo de los glaciares, es decir desde el inicio de abril y se termina de acuerdo con la cuota de cada pescador (a mediados de junio).<\/p>\n

¡Esperamos verlo durante la temporada de pesca del cangrejo!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
