When is King Crab's season?

King King is a very large type of crab that lives in a cold sea. There are several types of crabs of the king - red, blue and gold - which are hunted commercially, and they are located in various places along the coast of Alaska and Russia. The season is dictated by crab population, a specific type of crab and location, because different areas and crabs have different seasons. The main purpose of the fishing period is to limit the number of crabs every year to maintain a healthy crab population. These crabs, however, proved to be so popular that their habitats were too flying, seriously exhausted the number of crabs that remained in the wild. In order to help restore the kings of crabs from the coast of Alaska, only male crabs can be caught and must be a specific size. Women and youthful crabs must be thrown back into the water.

since 2005, the season of the King of King Alash's king works as a quota in that each ship has a specific number of crabs that can catch every season. Before that, the season worked derby; Ships would compete for thatto catch as many crabs as possible, because the only restriction was on the total number of crabs caught in the season, not the number of crabs caught on the ship.

with a decrease in the population of the king's crabs along the coast of Alaska also decreased the length of the season. In its shortest season, Red King was only four days, although the fishing season was currently stabilized between two and four weeks between October and January. The type of crab and location also dictates when the period occurs.
