Alaskan Crab Fishing is a commercial fishing activity primarily focused on catching various species of crab, such as King Crab and Snow Crab. Fishermen use large boats equipped with traps, known as pots, which are baited and then lowered to the ocean floor. The crabs enter the pots to feed, allowing fishermen to collect them later. The fishing season for Alaskan crabs typically runs from late fall to early spring, depending on the species. Strict regulations are in place to ensure sustainable practices, including size limits and quotas, to protect crab populations and the marine ecosystem.
