Alaska Bering Sea Crabbers is the trade association representing the harvesters of king, opilio (snow), and bairdi (Tanner) crab in the Bering Sea. We are actively involved in fisheries management, policy development, scientific research, and marketing. We consider ourselves stewards of the crab resource and are committed to ensuring the sustainability of our fishery for generations to come.
King crab stocks in the Bering Sea have supported a valuable commercial fishery for more than 75 years, and nearly 50 years for snow crab. Foreign owned vessels fished in Alaska's waters without restriction until the Magnuson-Stevens Act created a 200 mile Exclusive Economic Zone. The Act mandated the phase-out of foreign vessels and led to the development of U.S. Fishery Management Plans that formed the foundation for sustainable fisheries. The U.S. fleet has operated under harvest limits for over 30 years and only adult males are retained for sale. Female and juvenile crab are carefully released in order to maintain the productivity of the stock
