Oregon’s commercial Dungeness crab fishery opens Jan. 15 from Cape Falcon to Cape Arago on Jan. 15 after having passed all tests for the crab being ready to harvest. The season opens Feb. 1 from Cape Falcon north to Washington State in accordance with the Tri-State Protocol. Domoic acid testing of crab will continue from Cape Arago south to the California border as test results on January 6th showed elevated levels of the biotoxin in that area.
