YARMOUTH – From Yarmouth DNR: While conducting blue crab inspections, a Yarmouth DNR Law Enforcement officer uncovered a significant violation.
An inspection of catch uncovered a total of 39 blue crabs. Only 8 of those caught were of the legal size (5” from point to point across carapace). The other 27 undersized crabs were seized. For any of you stats people out there that’s just under 80% of the catch that’s illegal.
The individual was cited.
