Alaska fishermen will be able to harvest red king crab for the first time in two years
, offering a slight reprieve to the beleaguered fishery beset by low numbers likely exacerbated by climate change.
“Based on survey results from this year, those numbers have improved, some signs of modest optimism in terms of improving abundance in Bristol Bay red king crab overall and that has allowed for a small but still conservative fishery for 2023 as the total population size is still quite low,” he said.
Fishermen will be allowed to catch 2.1 million pounds of red king crab for three months beginning Oct. 15, the state announced. State fishery officials also decided to close the snow crab season for a second year, siding on conservation of the stock.

Alaska fishermen will be allowed to harvest lucrative red king crab in the Bering SeaAlaska fishermen will be able to harvest red king crab, the largest and most lucrative of all the Bering Sea crab species, for the first time in two years. The news offers a slight reprieve to the beleaguered fishery beset by low numbers likely exacerbated by climate change. There was no such rebound for snow crab, however, and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game announced Friday that fishery will remain closed amid population declines. Scientists think that population decline was a result of two years of low sea ice cover and abnormally warm ocean temperatures due to climate change may have altered the ecosystem in a way that snow crab couldn’t survive.
