Crab Price 2026

In advance of the first UB quote (UB Crab, Snow, Cluster, Newfoundland, 5-8 oz, low), the price to harvesters will be $6.00/lb for >4” carapace from April 12, 2026 to April 18, 2026.

Effective April 19, 2026, 12:00AM NDT, the price paid to harvesters will be $5.75/lb for >4” carapace until such time that the first UB quote of NL 5-8oz sections low issued. During the time period prior to the first UB quote, should the initial UB NL 5-8oz low quote create a higher price to harvesters than $5.75/lb, processors will rebate harvesters the price difference for the period prior to the quote.

Should the initial UB NL 5-8oz low quote create a lower price to harvesters than the $5.75/lb, harvesters will retain the $5.75/lb for that time period, and no deduction will be applied.

All other terms and conditions as per the 2025 crab schedule, including the 20% tolerance for <4” crab, remain in place.
