Description

Abstract: Commercial ocean Dungeness crab landings into Oregon ports during the 2011-12 season totaled 14.2 million pounds from 6,549 separate landings. Total coastwide landings this past season were lower than the 2010-11 season total of 21.3 million pounds, but similar to those seen in the 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons, during which a total of 12-15 million pounds were landed each year. In comparison, the 10-year average for total annual landings is 20.2 million pounds. The Newport area led all ports in total pounds landed with over 4.1 million pounds, followed closely by the Charleston, Astoria and Brookings areas with 3.8, 2.5 and 2.2 million pounds landed respectively.
