  Encyclopedia: Blue Harvest
Blue Harvest was the title of a fictitious film utilized to ensure secrecy and disguise the actual 1981–1983 production of the sixth installment of the Star Wars film series, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
The Blue Harvest ruse, credited to producer Howard Kazanjian, was very thorough, emblazoning the fictitious film's logo on a wide range of film production items including shirts, caps, coats, buttons, signs, invoices and stationery.
The Blue Harvest facade did give a bit of a wink and nod to its true purpose however, as the supposed film's logo (intentionally or unintentionally) utilized the distinctive Star Wars logo lettering style.

 Crabs and Shellfish - Blue Crab
The constant harvest pressure on the species and the loss of submerged aquatic vegetation (or SAV) habitat - which young crabs require for shelter and food during their development - have led directly to the decline in the blue crab's numbers.
The blue crab is a 10-legged crustacean, related to the shrimp, lobster and crayfish.
Blue crabs reach maturity at approximately 12 to 18 months of age, growing to approximately five inches wide, which is the legal size for harvesting.

 12back.com : Features : The Blue Harvest
The big deal with "blue" is that Kenner did not use this type of urethane to make hard copies until 1989 and this fact has been confirmed by a knowledgeable Kenner employee.
If the Blue Harvest was indeed made at Kenner from these molds then making them posed no great challenge because all the materials were almost effortlessly at hand.
However, if the blue piece is being pushed as a legitimate prototype (at a high price) then one must consider that he is potentially throwing away his money because the authenticity of the piece is shot.

 Stock Assessment of the Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab Executive Summary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Baywide adult stock of blue crab was deemed to be at long-term average levels of abundance measured from 1956-P. The analysis found no evidence of a stock collapse, or of a systematic, long-term decline in either total stock, or spawning stock biomass.
Further examination of measures of abundance which are independent to the Maryland harvest data clearly demonstrated that the increase in yield to the Maryland fisheries post-1981 was a result of an increase in the underlying abundance of the stock which was targeted by the fisheries at a near constant rate of exploitation.
To test the hypothesis that q for blue crab and American lobster are inversely related to nominal directed effort, estimated values of catchability were fit to a negative exponential function whose slope is indicative of the rate of decline in q versus effort.

Blue crabs are the Bay’s most valuable remaining fishery, but surveys in recent years have suggested that the population is near historic lows.
Because of continued signs of problems with the blue crab population, Maryland, Virginia and the Potomac River Fisheries Commission fully phased in the 15 percent reductions in 2002—a year ahead of schedule.
Several key stock indicators appear to have risen, which could translate into a slightly higher harvest this year, although officials caution that the changes are small, and scientists have not completed their analysis of other blue crab monitoring data.

The full Harvest Moon was a signal, to those who would listen, that it was time to start the last work of the year in the fields.
Blue Moon is different from the monthly or seasonal moon names as it isn't restricted to a time of year.
By "blue cheese" the ancient reference was to a cheese that had become blue with mold, metaphorically transferred, probably, to the comparatively rare appearance of the moon on unusually clear nights when the entire surface of the moon is visible although no more than a thin edge is illuminated.

The 2003 blue crab harvest in the Bay reached approximately 48 million pounds, which is below the long-term average and nearly sets an historic low.
The three-year commercial baywide harvest average (2001-2003) of 50 million pounds is 32 percent below the long-term average (from 1968 to 2003) of about 73 million pounds annually, and this figure is considerably below prediction levels.

 Blue Crab Harvest
The Chesapeake 2000 Agreement commits the Bay states to "establish harvest targets for the blue crab fishery by 2001." The Chesapeake 2000 Agreement commits the Bay states to "establish harvest targets for the blue crab fishery by 2001." In 2001, Bay jurisdictions met this commitment by adopting a Baywide threshold for the blue crab stock.
While the 10% threshold line represents a danger zone, beyond which the fishery should not be allowed to go, the target represents a goal and level that we do in fact wish to reach.
The goal of the Bay Program's 1997 Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab Fishery Management Plan is to manage the Chesapeake Bay blue crabs in a manner which conserves the Baywide stock, protects its ecological value, and optimizes the long-term use of the resource.

 Chesapeake Bay Journal: Strong fun of ‘peelers’ clouds discussion on blue crab harvest - July/August 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
At the June meeting of the Bi-State Blue Crab Advisory Committee, scientists presented their latest analysis, which suggests the crab stock remains low and appears to be declining.
Even if the strong peeler run resulted from better-than-normal reproduction, it would not necessarily help rebuild the blue crab spawning stock, he said, because the peelers — young crabs that have never had a chance to spawn — would be subjected to fishing pressure the rest of the year before they could reproduce.
The stock assessment committee’s latest report said the blue crab spawning stock has declined since the early 1990s, and is now at the lowest level that has been observed.

In the mid-1990s, when interest in the history and the pre-production process of Kenner's vintage line was at it's peak, some unscrupulous Kenner employees took it upon themselves to reproduce vintage hardcopy prototypes using either the original silicon molds or the exisiting hardcopies that were still in Kenner's possesion.
These repro protos were cast in blue urethane (or dynacast) and this influx of blue prototypes have been dubbed by the collector community as the Blue Harvest.
While the Blue Harvest prototypes aren't original vintage prototypes they do represent an interesting aspect of collecting history and as such have some degree of collectible value.

According to Rothschild, in 1994 the blue crab fishing effort was greater than ever, while the catch remained flat.
Such appears to be the case for the Chesapeake blue crab in 1994, though researchers and resource managers alike caution against drawing conclusions based on survey results gathered for less than a decade.
Pete Jensen, head of Tidewater Fisheries for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, reported that Maryland had established a Blue Crab Steering Committee, and that the state was keeping a close eye on the winter crab survey, the crab harvest and other key indicators.
