Are they allowed to sell the extra
Some captains maintain commercial fishing licenses. That allows them to sell "surplus" catches. It also allows them to make "meat runs" on days when they have no paying passengers. Some of them have standing orders with various restaurants for all they can catch of some of the more popular species. It also works the other way. Some small scale commercial boats will hire out for a day of sport fishing for small groups.
