wonder if this has anything to do with Fukushima, is that still going on? I read somewhere that there's also an ongoing die off of plankton

    I doubt Fukushima is the issue. More likely ocean acidification or heating to have this big effect

      Easier for yankees to blame foreigners than their own shitty environmental policy failures.

    There was a thread about this yesterday, between the migration of cold waters and acidification interfering with their shell development most of the young don't survive.

    What did they think was going to happen? The ocean is warming up and acidifying.

    They’ve also been overfishing for decades. This was inevitable as long as the fishing industry gained significant power in setting quotas.

    Beautiful animals, hope they don’t go extinct. Go vegan if you’re not yet. Carnism is unsustainable.

    There might be a mass migration pushing them to colder Russian waters.

    Maybe we'll get a Russian version of Deadliest Catch. :sicko-crab:

      I'm more concerned with the ecological impact, eating these animals is how we got into this problem to begin with.
