Pacific Seafoods is a monopoly,  even though that was adjudicated recently in favor of Pac.  A mean, cutthroat monopoly.  That is one of the results when NMFS began to give fisheries  to participants,  in an effort to stop "derby" fisheries,  which the dungie fishery still is.  Now your fish  quotas are either owned by processors like Pac or by large LLC owners of several boats.  The whole of the fisheries except trolling and crab,  the one day halibut long line fishery,  are in the hands of a few boats,  boat owning groups, or processors.  The coastwise processing of crabs is dominated by Pac and this is what you get:  a monopoly setting prices.  The good question is what price are crab being sold to retailers for?  A monopoly controls both sides of the contract.  The consumer loses.  It is becoming that way in most  food production effort in the US.  Ask a sheep grower,  a milk producer,  hog producer,  chicken growers.  Support farmer markets, fishers selling off the boat.
