A commissioner’s permit fishery for Tanner crab in Prince William Sound closed on Saturday, March 20, to avoid localized depletion, after state fisheries officials noted a decreasing catch per unit effort of legal crab per pot.
Alaska Department of Fish and Game officials said they will continue to monitor the fishery through daily mandatory call-in reports.
The fishery opened on March 2 in the eastern and western districts (statistical areas 485931 and 485935) after a weather delay, with a limit of 25 pots and mandatory daily reports from harvesters to monitor harvest and effort. Statistical area 486005 remains closed.
