Veteran fisheries biologist John Hilsinger Joins Aleutian King Crab Research Foundation as Science Advisor

Foundation president Rip Carlton, a veteran golden king crab fisherman from Bend, Oregon, said the harvesters want improved research and stock assessments of this fishery, which Carlton said is valued at $20 million to $30 million.
