Fishery managers have just announced the quota for one of Alaska's most valuable crab fisheries, and it's not very good.
The total allowable catch for Bristol Bay red king crab is 6.6 million pounds, down 22 percent from last year.
The season opens at noon Oct. 15.
Managers also announced that two other crab fisheries, St. Matthew Island blue king crab and Pribilof red and blue king crab, will be closed this season.
