"catch limits put on female and juvenile crabs"

I wasn't aware of commercial harvesting of juvenile crabs. 
I guess this is another example of top notch journalism from the Baltimore Sun.

   A total misrepresentation of the truth. The crabs are in dire trouble and only the 'allocationists can do anything about it. We are doomed to disaster.

Probaly reffering to the harvest of juvinile male and female crabs meaning the softcrab industry. it is legal to harvest peelers at 3 1/2 inches

One decent year does not make a trend.  Its not time to break out the champagne, when all of the data shows downward trends.

Remember Martin O'Malley saved the crabs, and then the next 2 years were horrendous.
