The start of the commercial Dungeness crab season has been delayed and the commercial rock crab season has been closed in California from Santa Barbara north to the Oregon border due to high level of the neurotoxin domoic acid in crab. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife will work with the California Department of Public Health and Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment to continue to sample crab to determine when it is safe to reopen the fishery.
