Abstract:

Although the crabbing industry in North Carolina is one of the youngest of the State's four major commercial fishing industries, it has shown the most progress in the past 20 years. Three-fourths of the annual catch comes from Pamlico Sound and its major tributaries. There are three principal methods of crabbing in North Carolina: crab pots, trawling nets, and \"trot lines.\"
