Alaska's snow #crab season is canceled for second year in a row

An estimated 10 BILLION crabs disappeared in 2022 — a 90% plunge in the population. Panic now taking hold in Alaska's fisheries, which produce 60% of America's seafood🦀

It is likely that the #Alaska eastern Bering Sea Snow Crab #fishery may be at a sudden permanent end. There was some thought of the #crab population moving northward to avoid the warming temperatures, but a new study (linked in article) convincingly indicates billions of Snow Crabs starved due to huge increased metabolic cost of warming from #ClimateChange. Harvest likely played some role in stressing the population, and NOAA likely won't open the fishery anytime soon.

The crab situation in the eastern Bering Sea continues to be bad, and climate change plus ocean acidification seem to be emerging as culprits. It's not clear what kind of harvest will be allowed there in the coming year, if any. We'll learn that soon, after the Alaska Department of Fish and Game fully analyzes the numbers and all the factors involved. Recovery of the crab stocks -- if it even happens -- is expected to take years. #crab #beringsea #climatechange #alaska

I've been dealing with vitreous detachment (both eyes) and copious amounts of eye floaters for 2 months. Imagine shaking a snow globe with long stringy blobs and black dots. That's me right now every time I move my eyes. But I refuse to be "crabby". I've experienced miracle healings before by staying positive!

A porcelain crab for ! Looks like a crab, has crab in its name…is it a crab? Nope. False crab. Porcelain crabs, Neopetrolisthes maculatus are decapod crustaceans in the family Porcellanidae, which resemble true crabs but are in fact closer related to squat lobsters. They have flattened bodies as an adaptation for living in rock crevices. 🧵1/2

May is crab month for 🦀 & the first prompt is “true crab.” Time after time shrimp like crustaceans have evolved crablike forms (through a process called carcinization) & do a good job of pretending to be crabs, but this odd looking fellow is the real deal, a true crab. My red frog crab (Ranina ranina), also known as a spanner crab or Huỳnh Đế crab, is hand-printed on Japanese kozo paper. 🧵1/n

I made a pattern of my linocut porcelain crab for #InsertAnInvert2024! Porcelain crabs, Neopetrolisthes maculatus are decapod crustaceans in the family Porcellanidae, which resemble true crabs but are in fact closer related to squat lobsters. These are 1 of at least 5 groups of decapod crustaceans which have evolved to be more crab-shaped in a process known as carsinisation. Find this on Spoonflower minouette shop
