  1. Both opilio and king crab stocks have collapsed, and the directed fisheries have been slashed to basically nothing. Meanwhile, the crab bycatch limits that allow for millions of crab to be caught remain untouched. It doesn't take a genius to read between the lines of what is going on with the decision makers at fisheries management.
