, the commercial Dungeness crab season in California will finally open on New Year's Eve, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife announced Thursday.
Some whales still remain in their winter feeding grounds off the coast of San Francisco Bay and so only half as many traps as usual will be allowed in all areas south of the Sonoma/Mendocino county line, the regulatory agency said.Commercial crabbing also had been delayed in Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte counties because of poor meat quality but "recent tests indicate crab are ready for market," the department said.
The commercial season traditionally begins Nov. 15 for waters between the Mendocino county line and the border with Mexico.
