SNOW CRAB
The Snow Crab is a crustacean of the Northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Snow crab prefer the colder waters of the Northern Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Snow crabs may also be called Queen and Opilio crabs. Snow crab require cold Glacial melt waters and are in danger of enormous reductions with warming waters in both oceans. Catches in 2020 were 36.6 million pounds in Alaska and 70 million pounds in the cold waters of the North Atlantic. Such numbers decimate the Crab populations and are simply not sustainable and typical of human interference with the Atlantic Cod being a good example from which it seems nothing has been learned.
