Not reading the article no point it was pending with a pre determined outcome like all msm wast of bandwidth shit . Reality of how atmosphere affects h20 temps will show you a diff reality 

Case in point..... keep on beleiving the crabs were overfished or just mysteriously disappeared. Good news is now that water temps have stabilised, there is an explosion of healthy juvenile crabs, so hopefully  this bodes well in a few years.

Rising Temperatures and Receding Sea Ice

The years 2017–2019 brought unprecedented warming to the Bering Sea. Sea ice extent was the lowest on record in 2017–2018. In 2018, for the first time, the cold pool was virtually nonexistent.

”The changes we are seeing are worrisome for Arctic species like snow crab. Temperatures suitable for them could begin to disappear in the EBS,” said Fedewa. “There are two possible ways snow crab could respond: acclimate or move.”

 

 

This was all info that come out of Trump’s NOAA back in 2020.

 

Fuckin slam dunk:owned:..

 

But....but......I didn't think we were talkin bout snow crabs......duh

3 deg  was the record a few yrs back . Sorry not changing mating or hatching of somthing that lives in 1000 to 1700 crusshing feet of ice  cold water.  

I know it is not fashionable now days not to reach as hard as you can to tie anything and everything to the boogy man called climate change but really logic and reality need to come in to play when looking over the vomit that is considered journalist now days . Propaganda is just that

That is not the legal boundary 

It is like 12 mi that falls under us law ie fish and game /gambling etc and 200 mi war ships . 

Not in Bering sea.  The Economic zone boundary for natural resources living and non living is the boundary line.  Russia can’t fish or put oil platforms or the likes within the us economic zone.  They can boat in these areas up to the 12 miles that you speak of but they can’t fish it

Then the Us is allowing them to fish it.  They can navigate through economic exclusion zones but can’t extract natural resources legally from those.  Russians aren’t legally fishing close to US Alaska Bering sea fishery waters.

I think you are dramatically overestimating the US fish and wildlife enforcement foot print in AK in the 70s 80s and early 90s. Pretty sure even the coast guard only has 2 choppers in the sate for the better part of those decades lol . It is now a Starbucks with a northface kiosk at the check out . But it was not always a hashtag van life destination for cunts who want a place for to take a selfie with there new flannel.  

Lol my old man had at least 6 buds with planes not 1 had a aviation license.  They were litteray still building roads blasting mountains that would stop traffic for hours  that could fit 2 trucks passing each other in the 80s that are now major tourist stops

I'm sure Russia will still be fishing and as long as there is a market they will still be selling them. If they are banned from Russia they will be funneled through some other Baltic country or Asian country IMO.

Golden King Crab, and they are huge and are the Eastern Bairdi they are catching. Funny how they thrived in these warm waters by not being fished for many years eh?

So they aren’t fishing Red King crab?  Isn’t there another crab they aren’t fishing as well?

Just the ones that have been over fished by Russia are closed. One would think a temp change would affect ALL crab not just the species being harvested.

I'll ask Sig next episiode :thumbsup:

I will help you vs your Jersey Shore type reality show opinion forming show….  Record low catch of Bairdi and the catch size is tiny crab compared to past.

 

https://alaskapublic.org/2023/04/17/record-low-quota-caught-as-bering-sea-tanner-crab-season-wraps-up/

The fishing season has ended for Bering Sea Tanner crab. Crabbers caught the record-low quota of 2 million pounds just before the end of March.

 

“Some boats caught their quota in the fall. Some caught it in the spring,” Nichols said. “Overall, the fishery performance was pretty good.”

Nichols said the average size of the crab caught was smaller than in seasons past. That could be because buyers agreed to accept crab they would’ve previously turned away.

“Vessels were targeting and retaining crabs that were smaller than the industry-preferred size of five inches, but still perfectly legal to retain,” Nichols said. “And that was somewhat to make up for the lack of snow crab coming out of the Bering Sea.”

The snow crab fishery was closed this year for the first time in its history. After a drastic drop in population, the stock has been declared “overfished.” The red king crab fishery was also canceled this season, for the second year in a row, due to a low and struggling population.

The Bering Sea crab fleet has been hit hard between those closures and the low tanner quota, and state officials have sought federal disaster relief.

Not upsetting at all.  Not as many as they have caught in the past and they are catching crab that are smaller than usual but are the same age as the catch has always been.  Why is that?

Because they were told they could bring in smaller crab so instead of fishing/sorting more they hit the markets.Nobody is "aging" their crab it goes by size the market takes. Golden King crab are huge dude.

Uncontrolled foreign fishing.
