This study aimed to improve safety and reduce labor intensity in offshore crab pot fisheries through the development of six types of automated fishing gear: a bait cutter, bait crusher, mainline arranging device, automatic pot hauler, cold water tank system, and crab pot unloading device. Sea trials demonstrated that both the bait cutter and bait crusher effectively reduced overall operation time. The mainline arranging device lowered the risk of injury compared to the conventional manual handling. The automatic pot hauler enabled the automated separation of crab pots, significantly decreasing the physical workload. The cold water tank system facilitated the efficient sorting of live crabs while enhancing onboard safety. Additionally, the crab pot unloading device reduced physical strain on workers and minimized catch damage. A satisfaction survey revealed high levels of approval among fishers, particularly regarding labor reduction and improved safety. Economic analysis indicated that vessels equipped with the automated gear experienced reduced overall operating costs. These findings suggest that the developed technologies will contribute to the long-term sustainability and modernization of offshore crab pot fisheries.
