NPRB711 Quantification of unobserved injury and mortality of Bering Sea crabs due to encounters with trawls on the seafloor
The potential for unobserved mortality of crabs encountering bottom trawls, but not captured, has long been a concern in the management of Bering Sea fisheries. We evaluated how many such crabs die, including snow, Tanner and red king crabs, and demonstrated changes to trawl gear that substantially improved crab survival.
