Season's first snow crab catch auctioned

YONAGO, Japan - The season's first catch of snow crabs is put up for auction at Sakaiminato, Tottori Prefecture, on the Japan Sea on Sept. 9. One case containing 30 kilograms fetched prices ranging from \7,400 to \27,000, about \2,000 higher than last year. Local fishermen said the snow crab haul at the port has been on the constant decline. Last year's catch totaled 10,473 tons, compared with the peak haul of 31,754 tons in 1083. (Kyodo)
