“Prepared for the State/Federal Dungeness Crab Management Program.” Crabs molt every year. After they molt, their shells are soft and are not filled out with meat. It takes weeks for the crabs to fill out. The problem for fishery managers is that the timing of the crab molt varies from...
California, Oregon and Washington, in cooperation with the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission, have initiated a coastwide Dungeness Crab Management Program. The primary objective of the program is to develop economic and biological information essential in supporting management decisions leading toward better management of the...
In 1973, Oregon, Washington and California along with the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission "entered into a cooperative State/Federal Dungeness Crab Management Program." As part of the process of setting up a coastwide management program, this 1977 report is intended to "inventory and evaluate the...
"Prepared for the State/Federal Dungeness Crab Management Program. May 1974." "One of the initial objectives of the State/Federal Dungeness Crab Management Program is to evaluate crab mortality caused by certain fishery practices. The areas of most concern include mortality caused by trawling, handling of softshell and sublegal crabs, lost pots...
The procedures presented are not THE BEST WAY or THE ONLY METHOD of crab meat extraction, since some plants may have different process requirements. By following this method, however, you will find that it is easier to remove the meat from a crab, and that you will be able to...
The California Current Ecosystem (CCE) is a dynamic marine ecosystem from which many socioeconomically important fisheries species are harvested. Here, a genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach was used to examine genomic variation in an early life stage (megalopae) of the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister), which constitutes the most valuable single-species commercial fishery...
PowerPoint slides and documents from a meeting between the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission, the Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife and crab fishers at the Best Western, Agate Beach Inn on July 28-29, 2009. Topics covered included pot limits, derelict gear, vessel safety, crab logbooks, the Washington State buyback program,...
PowerPoint slides and documents from a meeting between the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission, the Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife and crab fishers at the Curry County Fairgrounds on July 30-31, 1997. Topics covered included buoy tags, logbooks, law enforcement, pot limits, the Washington State buyback program, derelict gear and...

This is an Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife exhibit for a meeting of the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission. "This report reviews the status of Oregon's ocean commercial summer Dungeness crab fishery, discusses current issues and proposes a range of management options for Commission action... This report will highlight...
The power spectral density of the acoustic signature of
Dungeness crab was calculated by the use of digital computer.
The signal produced by the Dungeness crab was an analog signal.
Therefore a conversion of the signal from analog to digital was
necessary. This was done by sampling the acoustic signature...

This is a literature review summarizing what was known about the movements of Dungeness crabs on the West Coast. "Presented here is a summary of the available information dealing with Dungeness crab movements in waters off British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California." (from the Introduction) "Prepared for the State/Federal Dungeness...
The data in this document was presented to the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission at a September 1, 2000 meeting. It summarizes the 1999/2000 Dungeness crab fishery in Oregon and gives an overview of issues of pot limits and preseason quality testing. Includes statistics.
"September, 2001, Updated October, 2002" - note from cover. "This report reviews the Oregon's ocean commercial Dungeness crab fishery. It provides both a present and historical evaluation of the fishery, its vessel effort, and gear use, but emphasizes more recent analysis and information relevant to a discussion of pot limits....
The following bibliography was first prepared in April 1974 for use as a working bibliography on the State/Federal Dungeness Crab Management Program. The present collection combines the articles appearing in the 1974 report with those that have appeared through June 1976.
An earlier bibliography on the Dungeness crab (Butler, 1967)...
Dungeness crab is an important fishery on the Pacific Coast.
The processing subsystem of the fishery is hampered by a variety of
problems that have acted to impede technological innovations that
could improve efficiency and sanitation in seafood plants. This paper
provides background for problems encountered by the processors, discusses...
Dynamic marine environments can shape complex spatial and temporal patterns in the population connectivity of marine species, and this is often exemplified in species with long larval phases. Here, we used a genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach to examine fine-scale spatial and temporal genomic variation among Dungeness crab Cancer magister larval recruits...
Results of studies beginning in 1947 on the biology of the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) in Oregon coastal waters are reported. A review is made of the history of the fishery with regard to trend of the catch by magnitude, area, and season; the development and conduct of the fishery...
