Abstract Details

2022, Bachelor of Science, Wittenberg University, Biology.
The fishing industry for the collection of Dungeness crabs is restricted to size, sex, and season. Dungeness crabs are found along the western coast of the United States. Data analysis showed that through the years all groups of the crab were found in high abundance in the shallowest depth, 5-20 fathoms and the lowest abundance was seen in the deepest depth of>60 fathoms. When considered by region the data showed that all three groups were common in the Georgia Basin and not as common in South Puget Sound. Of the regions where the trawl was conducted, the highest abundance of all three groups were clustered in the upper Northeast region of Washington State.
