(AP) — The commercial crab season has officially opened after being postponed for more than four months because tests showed high levels of domoic acid, a naturally occurring neurotoxin.
(AP) — Health officials say another swath of California's coast has been cleared for the catching and eating of Dungeness crabs because they no longer show high levels of a marine toxin.
The commercial Dungeness crab season remains closed in most parts of California because of the deadly toxin found in some of the crab. But some crab fishermen have been busy over the past few months hauling in a different catch: lost crab gear.
