Quick Glance: Billions of Crabs Disappear in Alaska: Cause Revealed
  • Billions of snow crabs have vanished from the ocean around Alaska in recent years, and scientists now reveal that they know the cause: Warmer ocean temperatures likely starved them to death.

  • A new study, published by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, highlights a significant correlation between recent heat waves in the eastern Bering Sea and the sudden disappearance of snow crabs, which became apparent in surveys from 2021.

  • The researchers analyzed the potential triggers for the disappearance of snow crabs starting in 2020 and narrowed it down to two categories: the crabs either relocated or perished.

  • During the heat wave, Pacific cod were able to access these warmer waters and consume a portion of the remaining crab population.
