Description:

Three areas along Louisiana's coast were identified as possibly having commercially harvestable quantities of stone crabs: lower Barataria Bay, Breton and Chandeleur sounds, and Calcasieu Lake. In all three areas, stone crabs have turned up regularly in the blue crab by-catch. Shrimp trawlers who snagged "ghost traps" lost blue crab traps frequently heavily covered with marine growths in their nets have reported as many as two dozen live stone crabs per trap.
