The 2005-2006 Bristol Bay red king crab season opened on October 15th. In prior years, the season
typically lasted only 3-5 days. Recent changes in the way the fishery is managed have expanded the season to 3 months. The new rules will allow fishermen much more discretion in when they
catch their allotted crab quota. The new rules should make this perilous fishery much safer, although the Alaska crab fleet is much smaller now.
The Bristol Bay crab (delivered live by the fishermen to coastal processors) has been cleaned & broken into
clusters, cooked, and flash-frozen. As usual, much of the crab this year was shipped directly to buyers in Japan, who have anticipated a great deal of Holiday demand.
