October 17, 20223 yr Crazy things are happening in the world's fisheries and nobody really seems to be all too concerned. The past couple Gulf fishing seasons have been completely F'd. Fish that should've been thousands of miles away on the East Coast are running through the Gulf sometimes over three months early. It's wild.

It's crazy. Agreed. I do belive a lot of this is due to climate change. I bet they find those crabs a few hundred/thousand miles away in colder water. Same for the gulf. The water has been boiling for a few years. I'm thinking a lot of species have found cooler water.

A billion crab didn't just disappear, they just moved to colder waters.

Where the F did they go? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fishing-alaska-snow-crab-season-canceled-investigation-climate-change/ They were apparently all Cowboy fans, so they disappeared and went back into hiding after getting crushed on SNF. They'll be back around the end of the year and then all vanish at once on a Saturday or Sunday in January.

Same for the gulf. The water has been boiling for a few years. I'm thinking a lot of species have found cooler water. I hope you're right but I'm worried about the grimmer theories. We know trawlers have been traveling further and further north as sea ice has receded. The concern being that by trawling directly into once protected breeding habitats led to a massive decline in their ability to propagate. Which apparently was a big contributing factor in the King crab collapse in the 80s, so it's not like this "theory" is a total shot in the dark. Here's a solid thread on it. The King Crab numbers have never recovered to remotely the same numbers FWIW. The Snow Crab industry might be Fed.
