Why Are Snow Crabs Disappearing From Alaska’s Coast?
October 20, 2022
Crabs from the Bering Sea, off the coast of Alaska, have mysteriously vanished. It's where the popular Discovery show "Deadliest Catch" is filmed. The crab population plummeted from eight billion in 2018 to one billion today, causing the fishing season to be canceled. The disappearance of crabs also increased the price of crab legs across the U.S. At Benjamin Steakhouse in Manhattan, customers pay $119 for two king crab legs.
