The Alaska snow crab harvest has been canceled for the first time ever after billions of the crustaceans have disappeared from the cold, treacherous waters of the Bering Sea in recent years
For the first time in history, the snow crab harvest season is canceled in Alaska due to billions of the crabs disappearing from the Bering Sea.
Alaska has called off snow crab season, as the population of crabs is too depleted to be sustainably harvested. Part of the population collapse may be due to overfishing, while human-driven climate change may also be to blame.
Officials in Alaska have cancelled the upcoming snow crab season due to a population drop in the Bering Sea, CBSNews reported. For the first time in state history, the fall Bristol Bay red king crab harvest will not happen. Snow crabs are cold-water species. State officials have said that an estimated one billion crabs have mysteriously disappeared in two years, which is basically a 90% drop in their population.
