Salmon fishing in Alaska is a seasonal business; May through September is the best time to bait

Toland Fisheries, a small commercial fishery, recorded its highest ever catch last year. They started this year’s fishing season with the same number of workers and equipment. With the new season also starting well, Toland has increased hiring substantially. However, the fishery did not make any additional investment in trawlers and other fishing equipment. Other things remaining unchanged, what is likely to happen to the marginal product of each new worker in the short run?
