What happens to CDQ crab?
The allocation to CDQ groups increases to 10% of the TAC for the rationalized crab fisheries, except for Western Aleutian golden king crab, which has a 10% allocation specific to the community of Adak. This adds two new CDQ species, Eastern Aleutian golden king crab and Western Aleutian red king crab. The Norton Sound king crab CDQ allocation remains 7.5% of the TAC.
