More charges filed for undersized crab

From the Alaska State Troopers:

Location: Sitka
Type: Undersized Tanner crab
On 3/3/21 Alaska Wildlife Troopers cited Ty Barkhoefer, 54, of Sitka, and Thomas Trager, 31, of California, for possession of undersized commercial Tanner crab. The charges are a result of an offload inspection on 2/28/21 when Trager, a crewman onboard the F/V Chelsea Dawn, was observed by troopers measuring and breaking an undersized crab in the hold of the vessel. Subsequent investigation showed there were undersized crab retained in the hold during the offload. Barkhoefer was charged as the permit holder and operator of the vessel.
