Northern California rock crab fishery reopens after nearly ten year closure for domoic acid outbreak
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has reopened the commercial rock crab fishery along the northern coast from the California/Oregon border to the Humboldt Bay entrance. This comes after a nearly decade-long closure on the fishery due to a domoic acid outbreak. The fishery was originally closed in 2015 as a precautionary measure during the largest recorded domoic acid outbreak on the west coast. Testing has now confirmed that domoic acid levels in rock crabs are below federal action levels, which allows for the reopening of the fishery. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 07:17
