Description

Abstract: The 2020-21 commercial Oregon Dungeness crab fishery landed a total of 12.2 million pounds of Dungeness crab into Oregon ports coastwide, approximately 29% below the 10-year average of 17.3 million pounds. These landings equated to $60.6 million ex-vessel value, the fifth highest grossing season on record. The average price per pound peaked at $9.51 in May and came in at $4.97 across the entire season, the highest average price per pound for a single month and for an entire season on record. In total, 325 different permit holders landed crab on 4,793 separate fish tickets into Oregon ports from the ocean and Columbia River.
