There’s going to be a Tanner crab season in the Eastern Aleutians for the first time in five years. And while that’s great news for the fishery, only one section of the district will open.

There’s going to be a Tanner crab season in the Eastern Aleutians for the first time in five years, according to the And while that’s great news for the fishery, only one section of the district will open — Makushin/Skan Bay, on the western side of Unalaska Island.Each year the Alaska Department of Fish and Game conducts a bottom trawl survey for Tanner crab in the Eastern Aleutian District.

And even though the Akutan Sections and Unalaska/Kalekta Bay Sections didn’t reach those thresholds, Makushin/Skan Bay did for the first time since 2018. Ethan Nichols is the assistant area management biologist for shellfish at the Dutch Harbor Fish and Game office. And he said the opening is a good sign.

“We’re pretty excited about the fishery and Makushin this year, because we’re seeing more legal crab than we’ve seen in quite a few years. And we feel that this year’s removal is pretty conservative,” Nichols said.The level this year is 49,000 pounds, which is the second largest there’s been since the Makushin section of the fishery was established in 2004.
