Abstract:
The blue crab is North Carolina's most valuable commercial fishery. The state was the top blue crab producing one between 1994 and 1999. In 2002, the state still accounted for 21 percent of the country's total harvest. A Blue Crab Research Program by North Carolina Sea Grant specialist Sara Mirabilio provides insight into crab harvests, management, and research. Green explains the project and takes the reader on a crabbing trip in the Currituck Sound.

Abstract:
There are around one million crab pots in state waters. Each year, through storms, boat props, and other mishaps, 10 percent break loose. Unfortunately, the pots continue catching blue crabs. Between eleven and twenty-five blue crabs die in each loose pot per season, a significant loss to the industry. In 1994, Irene Hooker began work on a crab pot with strings that dissolve after a season. Her work will ultimately cut blue crab losses from loose crab pots.
