Actually the "quote" is divided between tribal and state and is agreed to by the co-managers. The tribes generally harvest their portion over the period of just a few days, whereas we recs take ours over the course of 3 months, plus winter opportunity. A lot of the tribes forgo winter crabbing cause they know it sucks and choose to harvest their total available quota in the summer.
