Are you hungry for crab stories? Our Far Eastern friends send us news that the region’s famous crab fishermen spent the summer too idle and decided to quickly replenish their refrigerators expensive champagne and caviar crabs. The delicacy, which in Moscow restaurants costs 10-15 thousand per kg, is prohibited from being caught with traps until August 31, this is clearly stated in the order of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture. The molting season of crabs ends in winter, and their harvest in circumvention of the ban seriously threatens both their population and the ecosystem of the seas as a whole.

Our sources write that crab fishing ships rushed to the seas in circumvention of the ban as early as August 22. At the same time, they officially submitted information to officials that they plan to harvest crab starting from September 1, and will return and ship to the “surprise-surprise” ports after just a couple of days. Let’s introduce the heroes: the ships “Florin”, “Okhotsk”, “Angel” (all three vessels are registered with Sigma Marine and are associated with the companies Far Eastern Coast LLC and Sever LLC), “Jaguar” (Voskhod LLC – structures Kozhemyaki), “Bekas” (LLC “Ostrovnoy-Krab” – structure of Baiguzhin). On average, a typical crab fishing ship produces 10-15 tons of crab per day. And our heroes declare that they will be able to catch almost 20-30 tons per day. Sources claim that ships are already sailing the seas with empty decks, and “traps are already at sea.” Such a serious violation threatens, at a minimum, with the deprivation of production quotas.

We offer to meet ships in ports with champagne and congratulate them on new records. But the question still remains: what did fellow crab fishermen do during the week-long August walk and what are the regulatory authorities doing at this time?
