The Alaska Board of Fisheries and North Pacific Fishery Management Council observed a decline in the population of crabs at the Bering Sea. It is estimated that over one billion crustaceans have disappeared from the sea which led to officials taking a decision of cancelling the Alaska snow crab season for the first time ever in the history! While the reason of the collapse in the crab population is being speculated, scientists believe that increased predation and stresses from warmer water have compelled the crabs to shift away from the coast.
