The majority of fatalities (82%) occurred in nine Alaskan fleets (Figure 3). The salmon fishery experienced the highest number of fatalities with 20 deaths. Eight crewmembers died during vessel disasters, of which five were in the setnet fleet. An additional eight salmon fishermen died after falling overboard, distributed among drift gillnet, setnet, seine, and troll fleets. The pot cod fleet lost six crewmembers, mostly to vessel disasters and falls overboard. The clam fleet experienced five deaths from a single skiff capsizing. In the dive harvest fleet, three cucumber harvesters perished while diving.

I don't see anything about "Crab" there do you?

Looks like mostly it was Salmon.

I guess you missed this ... Alaskan crab fishing, though, is specifically even more dangerous, with over 300 fatalities per 100,000 per year. and didn't bother to read anything other than small parts from the first link.

If you're talking about the first link, yes, I do.

Alaska Bering Sea Crab - 10 fatalities per 10,000 FTEs.
