I don't like how they keep blaming climate change, even though that doesn't seem to be what happened here. We just had one of the best seasons for crab fishing; does CBS expect us to think climate change in the last year ruined this season? Much more likely is disease, some new techniques in crab fishing that over harvested the sea, or random deviation.

What about farmed trout? https://www.clearsprings.com
According to clearsprings >Farmed seafood, in general, is a sustainable option, requiring far less feed per pound compared to other farmed sources of protein like beef, pork, and chicken. That is one advantage if true but that just means more sustainable than beef, pork, and chicken. Is there a condition that would prevent their farming? Like the accessibility of the feed?
So I guess they harvest wild fish to feed the farmed fish?

I'm eating as much delicious sushi grade tuna I can before it's gone.
You and everybody else. That's the problem.
The overfished. Simple as that. Snow crabs have been becoming smaller and smaller because the biggest ones were not living that long anymore. It happened to cod fisheries in eastern Canada and it is happening everywhere until it's too late.
This likely isn't true due to the scale of disappearance of crabs. *90% of the are gone - in only 2 years* That's not just overfishing, something much worse has happened. The cod overfishing was also a very unfortunate tale, but they saw the signs and tracked them catching fire and burning to the ground the entire time, just didn't do anything about it. Here, AFAIK, they were bewildered at how this occured.
I am willing to bet it is illegal fishing boats from countries I dare not to list for being downvoted. It is well known that some countries list a few hundred boats but in reality have fleets of tens of thousands of boats that operate under the radar. They over fish and destroy entire ecosystems and no one is doing anything about it.
Do you have any evidence to back this up, or is this just xenophobic speculation? China’s encroachment on sovereign waters for fishing is one thing when it’s against South American countries with small navies; it’s another thing entirely when it’s the US. I doubt they’re behind this.
"Disappearance" is a weird way to say overfishing. It's not like someone cast a spell or something.
Something similar happened to the cod fishing industry in Newfoundland and other parts of eastern Canada 30 years ago. The reason: overfishing, due in large part to technological advances. Here's what happened: Canada and NAFO continued to overestimate the abundance of cod in the Atlantic Ocean and therefore continued to set dangerously high [Total Allowable Catches]. This was in large part due to the widespread prac…

No, it's not that simple. The snow crab fishery is pretty highly regulated and considered to be sustainably harvested (by NOAA, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, others). As mentioned in an another article [1] from August on the recent disappearance, there were large numbers of juveniles in 2018 and 2019. Something else is going on. Overfishing certainly may play a role, but something else is likely the primary factor. 1. h…
maybe they considered incorrectly, based on historical data that doesn't reflect recent conditions
also possibly that regulations are being flaunted by bad actors
it could seem improbable that either of those would lead to a sudden catastrophic decline, but many systems do experience a point where what had been a linear decline suddenly craters in a non-linear fashion
