Book Description

This report provides an overview of the stock assessment, harvest strategy, and regulations for the 2021/2022 season Southeast red (Paralithodes camstchaticus) and blue king crab (P. platypus) commercial and personal use fisheries. The personal use red and blue king crab fishery opened July 1, 2021, in non-surveyed areas, while Section 11-A (Juneau Area) opened on August 20 for three and a half days. For the commercial fishery the guideline harvest level is 90,973 lb, less than the 200,000 lb regulatory threshold; therefore, the commercial fishery did not open for the 2021/2022 season.
