It's hard to say. It looks like the Canadian opilio isn't hurting the Alaska crab price. I know when the quotas were much higher,the Canadian crab would compete with the Alaska crab. Now it looks like the timing is right,so the Alaska prices stay up: www.fishchoice.com/buying-guide/snow-crab |

No immediate danger. I guess there will be 4-5 Norwegian boats fishing this year, and the authorities have said that no more fishing permits will be given until they've come up with a plan on how to manage the fisheries. Knowing how the Norwegian bureaucracy works, that can take quite some time.
That aside, is $5/lb. for bulk sections what the boats are paid? I found an article saying that the Norwegian boats gets NOK20/kg, which is less than a quarter of that.

I found an article saying that the Norwegian boats gets NOK20/kg, which is less than a quarter of that. The boats are paid for whole live crab. I haven't heard the current price, but probably somewhere on the 2.00-2.50/lb range. The processor can expect to freeze somewhere around 64% of the live weight in sections. That would put the wholesale price for frozen sections somewhere in the 5.00/lb range |
