Sample answer
“In my five years of experience as a lobster catcher, I've primarily used traps, specifically the conical traps, because they minimize bycatch and are very effective in the rocky areas off Singapore's coast. This method allows me to catch lobsters while ensuring minimal disruption to their habitat. Last season, I caught over 500 lobsters using this method, even adapting my bait strategy based on seasonal changes. I always make sure to follow local regulations to sustain the lobster population.”
