Last year's snow crab harvest was the smallest in over 40 years.
Snow crab populations declined after a 2019 Bering Sea warming that scrambled the broader marine ecosystem. Last year's snow crab harvest of 5.6 million pounds was the smallest in over 40 years.
“I am struggling for words. This is so unbelievable that this is happening,” said Jamie Goen, executive director of the Alaska Bering Sea Crabbers, adding that some crabbers will go out of business. The causes of the snow crab population collapse are still being researched but likely include increased predation and stresses from the warmer water.
“We have extreme conservation concerns about the population. We have serious doubts about the model,” Daly said.
