The catch quota for the upcoming Bristol Bay red king crab fishery is just under 10 million pounds, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game announced today.
That's a 16 percent increase from last season's 8.6 million pounds.
Here's the official announcement. The fishery opens at noon Oct. 15.
Bristol Bay red king crab is one of Alaska's most valuable crab fisheries.
The department also posted a small quota for St. Matthew Island blue king crab.
We're still waiting for an announcement on Bering Sea snow crab, another lucrative crustacean crop.
