At the beginning of the movie, when Bobby Shatford is picking up his paycheck from Bob Brown, he complains that his share is not high enough. As Brown explains the numbers, he makes two mathematical errors. First he calculates 21,000 pounds of fish at 3.50/pound as $73,000; it's actually $73,500. That may have been just a verbal rounding since he says the net after expenses is $38,500 which is correct. However, Brown goes on to explain how the half shared by the crew ($19,250 after he gets his 1/2 share as owner) is split - 2 shares for the captain, 1 share for each of 4 men and 3/4 share for Shatford. That means there are 6 3/4 shares, which means each full share is worth $2,852. Shatford's 3/4 share is worth $2,139, not the $2,221 quoted in the move, so he is actually getting paid too much.
