A comparative study of the theoretical and actual methods of establishing standard times for crab processing
Snow Crab processing is a labor intensive industry in Atlantic Canada having a comparatively short history. The present industry practices in Newfoundland for the catching, transportation and processing of crab are described with details also provided on the early years of industry development. -- T...
