Here's my figures for the results. The average from two locations is 32.95 ppm. That sounds good, but one red crab had 240 ppm. The other five in the sample averaged 11.4 ppm. That's the crab (and ones like him) that's going to scare the regulators into waiting longer, and honestly, if they think we need longer, I'm OK with that that. Disappointment is preferable to disaster, and I don't think that they'll let someone get sick.

  1. Saw today they have closed crabbing in Oregon from Heceata Head to the CA border as well. Not a good sign.

  2. Really scary when you think that Rock crab was open a week ago, most of the highest levels seem to be in Rock Crab. Think they dodged a bomb on that one!

  3. Agreed. I'm going to guess that they might wait until there's no more scary crabs (<100ppm) in the tests before they open it up.
