Crab landings are characterized by an extreme seasonal peak in Decem- ber or January. The two main species, market crab (Dungeness crab) and rock crab are not distinguished in our data. However, market crab account for 97 per cent of California crab landings and al- most 100 per cent of Eureka landings. Eureka supplied about 90 per cent of all California crab, mostly during the four months December through March. Ac- cordingly, the Eureka price can be taken as a reasonably accurate measure of mar- ket crab price. As in the case of Dover sole, despite increased landings, fisher- men were able, through collective bar- gaining, to raise seasonal prices from 15 cents in 1967 to 25 cents in 1969 (figure 10). This reflects the fact that nationwide demand for crab continues to exceed sup- ply available from all sources. As in the case of Eureka Dover sole and rockfish, statistical analysis suggests that volume of landings did not signifi- cantly influence the price of market crab at Eureka. Last week's price, upward ad- justment of minimum prices during the period, and current income were signifi- cantly related to current weekly price. The annual midseason upward shift in prices raised prices, on average, almost nine cents per pound. It appears that mis- cellaneous cyclical demand factors had little influence on crab price. However, a long time-series would be needed to con- firm these findings. Case Study: A Los Angeles Broker The broker studied, while occ
