After additional domoic acid samples were collected Monday, January 29th from Brookings area and Port Orford areas, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has declared that all crab viscera samples were below the threshold for domoic acid.
Therefore, based on domoic acid results and consultations with the Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon commercial crab industry, the fishery from Cape Blanco to the Oregon/California Border will open as provisionally announced.
Commercial Crabbers will begin the mandatory ’73 hour pre-soak period’ February 4th at 8:00 am and will begin pulling gear February 7th at 9:00 am.
