Crab, Stone (Kani)
Popular in the Southeast U.S. and supplied predominantly by the Florida West coast crab fishery, fishers use relatively low-bycatch traps to catch Stone Crabs.
These crabs benefit from naturally high fertility, which helps provide resilience to fishing pressure.
Fishers for Stone Crabs have been advocates for strong management; they urged regulators to adopt a program to reduce the number of traps allowed in the fishery.
