If the crab bottom were off limits to trawlers, there would be few places for them to rape and pillage. Or they would really have to go pelagic. Crab bottom, as you are well aware, is also preferable trawl bottom...fewer snags. So once that crab were gone, the crab bottom became a free fire zone for trawlers. Now they are moving on the halibut...another pesky species that restricts trawlers.
