Crabbers want more gold and goldens – coalition is seeking a nearly 1 million pound quota increase from the Alaska Board of Fisheries

January 3, 2014 North Pacific

Golden king crab fishermen have established a nonprofit science foundation to help increase their profits by doing research to justify bigger catches along the Aleutian Chain.
