  3. God this is terrifying
    Not only the impact on people, but the implications of 11 billion organisms vanishing points towards climate disasters becoming more and more severe…

  4. I can not believe that the world does not see this. We are doomed.

  5. we are very waist full and over fished sounds to me.. welp sounds like yall gotta get a job doing something else crab owners are millionaires they better not get a hand out from the government. We already give more money away to the rich and other countries. Let them live the normal American life….

  6. Maybe the Democrats stole all the crab 🦀 Only snowflakes would believe it would be the environment….and im sure Russia is over fishing them….But I heard Putin is a good guy, although I heard it from a traitorous scumbag moron

  7. This is what happens when you over Crab 🦀 and fish 🐠…….God is tired of the evil of people destroying mother earth 🌍

  8. People love propaganda. What they dont understand is that the elite is planning food shortages like we've never seen before in this country. Here and there they blame Putin, here and there they blame "Climate Change", and all the sheep fall for the idiocy. People have what they deserve.

  9. Get ready to go Bankrupt and starve…

  10. Conservatives tell liberals that they shouldn’t get their student loans canceled but then ask for handouts when they need financial help, it’s hilarious!

  12. They can go to Norway

  13. The rich people will suffer the most

  14. Grow Spinach, Stevia and broccoli. Get right or get left.

  15. Maybe you should have set aside some of the money you's have been raking in for years for a rainy day.

  16. The world is collapsing little by little but people are so entertained with materialism and non sense stuff.

  17. See if they can the permit or license to fish the crabs in northern Europe. these crabs are destroying the eco system in Norway and the surrounding areas because they have no natural predators in that region.

  18. Deadliest Catch also canceled

  19. No due to bullshitters NOAA

  20. Why is this story about fisheries and industry, and not about the ecosystem and fish population.

  21. They have enjoyed the wealth of Snow crabs for years.. It's a set back indeed but it's part of business. Let the crabs take a break..

  22. Last hours of ancient sunlight has begun. The end is coming for billions.

  23. If they know crabs migrate, how do they know the population. Speculation.

  24. Follow the Norwegians & go fish up there with Seig & co

  25. Sad, for families. That being said, if you continue to fish and crab the ocean bare, you won't ever be working again.

  26. Total fucking bullshit.
