History of Alaska Red King Crab, Paralithodes camtschaticus, Bottom Trawl Surveys, 1940–61
Thirteen bottom trawl surveys conducted in Alaska waters for red king crab, Paralithodes camtschaticus, during 1940–61 are largely forgotten today even though they helped define our current knowledge of this resource. Government publications on six exploratory surveys (1940–49, 1957) included sample...
