Description

Abstract: The 2021-22 commercial Oregon Dungeness crab fishery landed a total of 17.2 million pounds of Dungeness crab into Oregon ports coastwide, above the 10-year average of 16.4 million pounds. These landings equated to $91.5 million ex-vessel value, the highest grossing season on record by more than 17 million dollars. The average price per pound peaked at $7.87 in May and came in at $5.33 across the entire season, the highest average price per pound for any season on record (Figure 1). In total, 310 different permit holders landed crab on 5,947 separate fish tickets into Oregon ports from the ocean and Columbia River.
