Description
Research updates on enhancing natural crab populations fill the pages of this book, contributed by international experts. Based on worldwide cultivation studies, scientists conclude that king crab enhancement in Alaska will be worth the high expense—depleted stock can be replenished, Alaska fishermen can become employed, and a high-value seafood product can be provided. However, much research still needs to be accomplished, for example on raising food, locating the best habitats, and establishing normal densities.
