Fish Talk / Dungenes Crab Season Delay for Mendocino, Humboldt, Del Norte Counties

« on: December 12, 2012, 11:11:50 AM »

CDFG Informational Notice

10 December 2012

Dungeness Crab Season Delay Notification - Date Revision

Fish and Game Code (FGC) Section 8276.2 (c) provides the Director with the authority to delay the season opening, due to soft-shell or poor quality crab conditions, in Fish and Game Districts 6, 7, 8 & 9 (Mendocino, Humboldt, and Del Norte counties) to a date no later than January 15, 2013.

Crab quality tests conducted in northern California on October 22 and November 6, 2012 indicated the crabs would not be ready for harvest on December 1, 2012, and I therefore delayed the opening of the season until December 16, 2012, pending further testing results. Based on tests completed on December 6, 2012, poor quality conditions were still apparent and in the interest of cooperatively managing the interstate Dungeness crab fishery, I am delaying the opening of Dungeness crab season in northern California (Districts 6, 7, 8 & 9) until 12:01 a.m., December 31, 2012. Further testing may occur on or about December 17 to provide missing data for the Trinidad area for use in determining whether an additional delay may be necessary.

Pursuant to FGC Section 8276.3 (b), the opening date in Districts 6, 7, 8 and 9 shall be preceded by a 36-hour gear setting period. Therefore, crab gear may be set beginning no earlier than 12:01 p.m., on December 29, 2012.

As provided in FGC Section 8276.3 no vessel may take or land crab within Districts 6, 7, 8 & 9 during the closure period. In addition, FGC Section 8279.1 prohibits anyone who landed crab from ocean waters outside of Districts 6, 7, 8 & 9 from participating in the crab fishery in Districts 6, 7, 8 & 9, or any other delayed opening areas in Oregon or Washington, for 30 days following the opening of those areas.

Fish Talk / Shark falls from sky onto California golf course

« on: October 25, 2012, 08:45:31 PM »

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif. -- Nobody yelled "Fore!" at a Southern California golf course when a 2-foot-long shark dropped out of the sky and flopped around on the 12th tee.

The 2-pound leopard shark was apparently plucked from the ocean by a bird then dropped on San Juan Hills Golf Club, Melissa McCormack, director of club operations, said Thursday.

No one was teeing up when the shark fell Monday afternoon, although some golfers had just left the area, she said.

A course marshal, who makes sure players maintain an appropriate pace, saw something moving around on the tee and went to investigate. He found the shark bleeding with puncture wounds, where it seems the bird had held it in its grasp.

The marshal put the shark in his golf cart and drove it back to the clubhouse.

"He went above and beyond," McCormack said.

The marshal, McCormack and employee Bryan Stizer wanted to help the small shark, so they stuck it in a bucket of water. Then somebody remembered it wasn't a fresh water animal, so they stirred up some "homemade sea water" using sea salt from the kitchen, she said.

"We knew we had to get it to the ocean as fast as possible," McCormack said.

She grabbed a photo of the shark before Stizer headed to the sea.

"When Brian put it in the water, it didn't move," she said, "but then it flipped and took off."

It's the first time anyone could remember a shark falling from the sky at the golf
course.

"We have your typical coyotes, skunks and the occasional mountain lion, but nothing like a shark," McCormack said
