How are Alaskan King Crab sampled to set fishing regulations ?

Given the controversy, i'm interested to know what method is used to sample King Crab (and maybe Dungeness too) in order to set fishing quotas and season length. I'm sure there is a technical report out there that describes the method, but its swamped by garbage on the internet.  There are experts in this group that can probably advise.
Is it some version of mark and recapture studies?

Inquiring minds want to know
Seriously, my Girlfriend and I were just wondering the same

Did you see this article?   It’s the snow crab that’s the issue.  We’re you wondering if they were going to kill the King Crab season too?

I like this topic, but I think it may be better suited for another section of the forum. Maybe Politics of Fishing, Ethics, and the Environment?

King crab was closed last year as well.
