Executive Summary 2011 Saint Matthew Island Blue King Crab Stock Assessment
2. Catches: Peak historical harvest was 9.454 million pounds (4,288 t) in 1983/84. The fishery was closed for 10 years after the stock was declared overfished in 1999. Fishing resumed in 2009/10 with a fishery‐ reported retained catch of 0.461 million pounds (209 t), less than half the 1.167 million...

Fishing resumed in 2009/10 with a fishery‐ reported retained catch of 0.461 million pounds (209 t), less than half the 1.167 million pound (529.3 t) TAC. The TAC was increased to 1.600 million pounds (725.7 t) in 2010/11 and to 2.539 million pounds (1,151 t) in 2011/12, but reported catches again fell short at 1.264 million pounds (573.3 t; 79 % of the TAC) and 1.881 million pounds (853.2 t; 74 % of the TAC), respectively. Total male discard mortality in the 2011/12 directed fishery is estimated from ADF&G crab‐observer data at 0.217 million pounds (98.3 t), assuming 20 % handling mortality.
