Crabs Tagged
Off Kodiak Island
Successful tagging of 6,000
adult king crabs in nine days by
four departmental biologists off
the southern tip of Kodiak Island
has been reported by the Alaska
Department of Fish and Game.
This is the largest king crab
tagging operation so far under
taken by the state according to
Research Biologist Guy Powell,
who supervised the operation.
The plastic tags, each carry
ing a number, enables the biolo
gist to identify individual crabs.
Tagged crabs, when caught, are
turned in by fishermen to De
partment representatives. The
Department pays $2 for each
tagged crab and Powell reports
the cooperation by fishermen
is excellent.
