King and tanner crabs in northern British Columbia mainland inlets, May 4-June 18, 1982 / by G.S. Jamieson, C.K. Robinson and T.H. Butler.: Fs97-4/1880E-PDF

"An exploratory survey of king crab populations in northern British Columbia mainland inlets indicated that while concentrations of king crabs exist, they were too limited in size and few in number to support a substantial fishery. Red king crab (Paralithodes camtschatica) and tanner crab (Chinoecetes bairdi) were found throughout the survey area, whereas golden king crab (Lithodes aesquipina) were found only in Alice Arm at the head of Observatory Inlet. Few male red king crab caught exceeded the minimum legal size presently in effect in southeastern Alaska (178 mm carapace width) and if a similar regulation existed in British Columbia, fishery prospects would be limited"--Abstract, page iii.
