Looking at the water conditions, albeit after the incident, hard to believe a fishing boat large enough to employ 20 people could capsize in those conditions. Must have been related to the trolling nets? Ran afoul of hidden object/rocks? Captain error seems the root cause here. Too bad, it's very difficult work!

No safety vests ?

How did they die in calm water, except if a Moby Dick ?

This is a fishy description of the accident.

ANYONE that spends time on ANY Body Water, ANYWHERE (sports, work) should OWN their OWN, personal hand held Marine Band “Handy Transceiver”, preferably WATER proof

You can probably buy one in Akihabara .

Fishermen and sailors usually do not wear life jackets when working.
