What I would do is nail down the bazillion details that matter, since this is worded too vaguely to be addressed here.
Commercial or Sport or Transportation industry (DOT rules); which product; how sold; how is the boat owned and operated; is this person crewing as an employee or not; is the person paid by the boat captain or the buyer of the catch or do they sell their share of the catch on their own; what is deducted from their share, if they get a catch share from the captain; are they located on the boat overnight; are they located away from home but not on the boat overnight...A million details matter.
