I figured out I can watch all episodes of Deadliest Catch so that’s what I’m doing because I hate almost everything else on TV.

I heard something crazy. The King Crab industry has declined by as much as 90% in 2010 which is the latest figures wikipedia gives.

“In 1980, at the peak of the king crab industry, Alaskan fisheries produced up to 200,000,000 pounds (91,000,000 kg) of crab. However, by 1983, the total size of the catch had dropped by up to 90% in some places.”

Now, why do you think that is? I’m sure most people with a working brain realize it’s because they are taking more out of the ocean than the ocean can easily replace. That’s called overfishing and it’s prevalent. But wikipedia lists several “theories” (lol) including FISH PREDATION and Climate Change! Ha ha ha. I really try hard to not judge people, y’all. I was there in the past, I’m sure.
