The contribution of the eastern Bering Sea to king crab catches within 200 miles of Alaska began in- creasing rapidly in the early 1970's, with more than 50 percent caught there in each year since 1974 (Fig. 61-3). For the years after 1974 (when foreign fishing ceased). Fig. 61-3 provides an index of the eastern Bering Sea contribution to total domestic king crab landings.
