ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - The Alaska Department of Fish and Game hosted a second meeting to discuss how to distribute funds to fisheries that experienced disaster in recent years, with Thursday’s meeting focusing on Bristol Bay red king crab and Bering Sea snow crab fisheries.
Much of the discussion centered around the division of payments between the vessel and crew members, with several people calling for 60 percent to go to the vessel and 40 percent to the crew, rather than a 70/30 split.
