Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laws governing the blue crab fishery in South Carolina fail to put limits on harvest or participation in both the commercial and recreational components of the fishery. It has been a goal for many years at OFM to propose legislation to bring our fishery laws in line with those governing the fishery in other states. It's believed that overall abundance of blue crabs is declining while the price continues to rise. This creates a potential management issue since there are no limits on effort, catch, or participation in the commercial fishery, and similar problems exist with the recreational component of the fishery. Current and former fisheries managers for OFM would like to see legislative changes to fishery laws that limit recreational harvest to a daily limit and cap the number of commercial licenses sold each year.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Atlantic blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, supports the one of the largest fisheries in the United States. Despite the ecological and economic value of this species to South Carolina, many aspects of blue crab life history, which are important for ensuring effective management strategies, remain unexamined. Size restrictions for harvesting blue crabs were set nearly a century ago; however, size shifts in response to temperature can occur over contemporary timescales, and in the absence of direct climate studies, projected morphological responses to climate warming are typically based on latitudinal clines. Evidence of spatial and temporal variability for this species in both Atlantic and Gulf coast populations highlights the need for characterizing patterns of mature female blue crab demographics in South Carolina. This study incorporated a range of estuarine and marine environments from lower saline habitats and coastal spawning grounds to investigate spatial and temporal variation in female blue crab size. Long-term datasets were analyzed from 40 years (1979-2018) of fishery-independent estuarine trawl surveys and 30 years (1989 – 2018) of fishery-independent coastal trawl surveys conducted by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Mixed-effects modelling procedures revealed significant spatial variability in mature female blue crab size in the southeastern U.S. Patterns in temporal trends across the time series were variable. These results provide detailed information on regional variability in female blue crab size, a life history trait that is central to effective management strategies for this species, and the applicability of latitudinal clines as a proxy for climate-induced changes in the size.
