AFSC/RACE/GAP/Nichol: Archival tag depth and temperature data from red king crab

Metadata Updated: April 1, 2024

In December of 2009, a total of 135 adult male red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) were tagged with depth and temperature recording archival tags and released in eastern Bering Sea for the purpose of tracking their seasonal migrations. A total of 2 crab were recaptured by the commercial fishery after being at liberty for 315 and 330 days

Lineage The fishing vessel Arctic Fury was chartered for 1-week, immediately following the 2009 commercial red king crab fishery. The archival tags were programmed to collect depth at 1-min intervals and temperature at 30-min intervals. Archival tags were attached to traditional spaghetti tags which were looped though the isthmus muscle of the crab. The isthmus tagging procedure on red king crab has been utilized by ADF&G for more than 30 years to allow for tag retention through the molting stage.
