Crabs in Hecate Part 1

BC industry dates from late 80s

What accounts for rise of BC crab fishery in late 1980s?

“East Asian immigrants created a market for live crab”

Plus many of the fishers were Vietnamese Canadians

This graph shows North Coast Crab values Area A and area 4 (I have computed from DFO data)°

Gives later years

	And in many years the NC = >70% of BC Catch
