Gulf of Alaska waters around Kodiak Island once supported the world's largest fishery for red king crab, Paralithodes camtschaticus. Fishery harvests occurred at low levels beginning in the 1930s, but increased rapidly in the 1960s to a peak harvest of 42,800mt in 1965. However, stock abundance declined dramatically in the late 1960s, and again in the early 1980s. The history of the fishery included...
Stock-recruitment (S-R) relationships have important implications for harvest strategies but are difficult to develop for crab stocks because crab lack retainable hard body parts to age them and lack of sufficient knowledge about complex crab reproductive biology also complicates estimating effective spawning biomass. To evaluate harvest strategies, we developed S-R relationships for three major crab...
