         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 784_PROVISIONS OF THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT APPLICABLE TO FISHING 
AND OPERATIONS ON AQUATIC PRODUCTS--Table of Contents
 
Subpart B_Exemptions Provisions Relating to Fishing and Aquatic Products
 
Sec. 784.122  Operations performed as an integrated part of fishing.

    Certain other activities performed on a fishing vessel in connection 
with named operations are, functionally and as a practical matter, 
directly and necessarily a part of such operations. For example, 
maintenance work performed by members of the fishing crew during the 
course of the trip on the fishing boat would necessarily be a part of 
the fishing operation, since the boat itself is as much a fishing 
instrument as the fishing rods or nets. Similarly, work required on the 
vessel to keep in good operating condition any equipment used for 
processing, canning, or packing the named aquatic products at sea is so 
necessary to the conduct of such operations that it must be considered a 
part of them and exempt.
