(Salem, OR) -- Oregon's commercial crab fishery will open December 16th south of Cape Falcon. That will allow Dungeness crabbing along most of Oregon's Coast. The area north of Cape Falcon will remain closed to coordinate a start with Washington's crab fishery. Testing of crabs along the Washington Coast have showed elevated levels of domoic acid which makes them unsafe to eat. All of the crab tested off the Oregon Coast was safe.
