The Alaska Department of Fish and Game today announced a Tanner crab quota of 5.8 million pounds for Kodiak. That's a huge jump from last season's 1.1 million pounds.
Pass the drawn butter!

What could go wrong, increase the quota by 500%, don't let stocks build up so we can have 50 million pound seasons. Management has proven themselves inept, if we were smart and organized we would only land 2 million pounds.
Yeah, just let them grow old and die. They don't live forever.
The data has been showing that this strong recruitment was coming. Glad to see it actually happen. https://www.alaskajournal.com/2021-09-22/fish-factor-huge-tanner-crab-cohort-good-news-gulf-alaska
I don't know, I just don't trust the managers anymore, too many fck ups
Don't go then.
I thought the Kodiak based Trawlers killed all those Tanners????
On the Kodiak trawlers, the word is they haven't been hitting crab grounds on the East side as hard, but I haven't seen a study to show it - just rumors.
