Description

Abstract: The 2019-20 Oregon Dungeness crab season brought in $72.7 million dollars ex-vessel value, the second highest grossing season on record! Despite a challenging year for the seafood industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic, crab landings totaled just under 20.0 million pounds, approximately 12% above the 10-year average of 17.6 million pounds. The average price per pound peaked at $6.28 in May and came in at $3.64 across the entire season, up from last year’s $3.57 average price per pound. In total, 320 different permit holders made 5,691 separate landings into Oregon ports from the ocean and Columbia River.
