The Bering Sea snow crab season was canceled after billions of crabs disappeared, devastating Alaska’s fishing industry and the livelihoods of those who depend on it →    • Why Did 11 Billion Snow Crab Vanish Overni...  

UPDATE: The latest research that confirms the snow crab died because of a marine heatwave.

I've been advocating for this since the beginning and am extremely happy to see that the U.S. Department of Commerce has announced a series of disaster relief for Alaska’s fisheries. This should mean relief funding for the Bristol Bay red king crab and Bering Sea snow crab fisheries: https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/202...

As always, I have cited my sources and provided links such as these studies taken a month after the Fukushima disaster:

In 2014, the US FDA stated there was "no evidence that radionuclides from the Fukushima incident were present in the U.S. food supply." So it is unlikely that radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster caused the snow crab disappearance.

Is overfishing from China and Russia to blame for the missing snow crabs? The US Coast Guard has said that “unreported and unregulated fishing is the No. 1 global maritime security threat.”

A study by the World Wildlife Federation found “three-quarters of the king crab consumed in the US market comes from Russia” also there were “major discrepancies between the amount of king crab reported to be caught in Russian waters and the amount imported into countries.”
