The Demand and Allocation of Alaskan and Canadian Snow Crab

For over two decades the Alaskan snow crab industry has been an important component of the economic health of the Alaskan crab fisheries. This has been particularly true given the substantial historical stock declines in the Alaskan king and Tanner crab fisheries. However, dwindling local stocks, co...
