ALTHOUGH THERE ARE REPORTEDLY PLENTY OF DUNGENESS CRABS ON THE OCEAN FLOOR THIS YEAR, CRABBERS WILL HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE LONGER BEFORE THE CRUSTACEANS MATURE ENOUGH TO BE HARVESTED. THAT’S BECAUSE FISHERMEN SAY THE CRABS NEED TO HAVE 25 PERCENT OF THEIR BODY WEIGHT MADE UP OF MEAT AND THIS YEAR’S CATCH ISN’T QUITE THERE YET. THIS YEAR’S CRAB SEASON IS SLATED TO RUN THROUGH JUNE 30TH.
