For Fishing Zones 1 and 2 -- the area from the California-Oregon border to the Sonoma-Mendocino county line -- will have the start of the Dungeness crab season further delayed "due to the inability to conduct industry-sponsored meat quality testing," with the season opening at 12:01 a.m. on Jan. 5. A pre-soak for traps will begin three days earlier at 8:01 a.m. on Jan. 12. That area will be subject to a 25% trap reduction.  

Dungeness crab season traditionally starts in mid-November, but delays have become a consistent problem for crabbers in recent years, frustrating fishermen who rely on filling the increased holiday demand for the crustaceans to make a living.

The previous crab season was delayed until Jan. 18 and ended early on April 8 due to the whale migration.
