Alaska Fisheries...
« on: Oct 21, 2023, 05:42 AM »
Just came across this yesterday... Yeah, it's about Alaskan Snow crabs...  Lots going on in the Atlantic as well... Same thing has happened with king crabs. Interestingly, as this article mentions, pacific cod were able to go to the now warmer water and eat the crabs that were left....

"What’s happening with Alaska’s crabs is proof the climate crisis is rapidly accelerating and impacting livelihoods, Szuwalski said. He knew this was going to happen at some point, but he “didn’t expect it to happen so soon.”

“This was kind of an unexpected, punctuated change in their populations,” he said. “But I think long term, the expectation is that the snow crab population will move north as the ice recedes and in the eastern Bering Sea, we probably won’t see as much of them anymore.”
