AKCRRAB receives broodstock contribution
December 12, 2011
Ovigerous female blue king crabs have arrived at the Alutiiq Pride Shellfish Hatchery
in Seward. The commercial fishing vessel Seabrooke, owned by Scott Campbell Sr. and skippered by Scott Campbell Jr., collected the 19
crabs as an in-kind contribution to Alaska King Crab Research, Rehabilitation and Biology Program. The crabs were caught near St. Matthew Island during the 2011 commercial fishery
and delivered to Dutch Harbor, and then shipped to Seward. Find out more about the
Blue king crab in the December issue of News Flash, a monthly update for AKCRRAB.
AKCRRAB is a research and rehabilitation project sponsored by the Alaska Sea Grant College Program, UAF School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, NOAA Fisheries, the Alutiiq Pride Shellfish Hatchery, community groups and industry
members. For more information go to http://seagrant.uaf.edu/
