(Undated)- There is a shortage of blue crabs in the Chesapeake Bay. According to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, there are 282-million crabs in the bay. Officials say that the shortage is mainly among male crabs. That means that there will be a spike in the cost, but experts are hoping it won't go too far into the summer.

MARYLAND – A recent survey found that there are only 282 million blue crabs currently in the Chesapeake Bay, that’s according to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, 2021 Blue Crab Winter Dredge Survey. “We’ve been through this before many times. Sometimes crabbing starts early, sometimes it don’t,” says Bob Whaples, President of the Dorchester County Waterman Association.
When crabbers first saw the survey, they say they thought it was good news since there would reportedly be an abundance of female crabs. However, that doesn’t change the fact that there are a significantly lower amount of juvenile crabs. Crab experts say, this is creating a major shortage throughout the state. “We were kind of unsure what was happening but we know that it’s been very well behind and we didn’t really understand why,” says Josh Parker, owner of TL Morris Seafood in Cambridge, MD.
