Recreational crab fishing restrictions went into effect yesterday, and the commercial fishery has been delayed due to the presence of migrating whales. Crab meat quality is also a factor in delaying commercial fishing. Lauren Schmitt, of KMUD news, spoke to Ryan Bartling, a senior environmental scientist in the marine fisheries for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
