Aunty, I jumped to the conclusion of a willful buyer because I thought every pound of commercially caught crab whether regular commercial or tribal needed to have fish ticket for the sale from crabber to wholesaler. I also know they had a season early in the summer and not now. I didn't know a particular tribal crabber had a quota. I thought they had seasons like the normal commercial dudes. So I then jumped to the conclusion that a buyer purchasing crab from a local crabber at this time would know it wasn't legal.


So, if you don't mind teaching me up, could you tell me more about the quota and how the sale of crab goes from a tribal crabber to a wholesaler.
