National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration analyzed temperature at the bottom of the sea, algae bloom levels under the sea ice, ice cover and the makeup of Arctic snow crab communities from 1972 to 2022.

Although the negative impact on snow crab fisheries is short-term for now, that may not remain the case.

In the process, they determined that the snow crab population has dramatically decreased as a result of heating from burning fossil fuels.

That spells pain for fishing fleets who suffered a first-ever canceled snow crab season in 2022-2023.

Officials in Alaska decided earlier this month to cancel yet another snow crab season.
