Abstract. Crab populations in the eastern Bering Sea support some of the most valuable fisheries in the United States, but their future productivity and distrib

Capitalists when they fucking destroy nature and there's nothing left to pillage:

    Ganglion is kind of a misnomer when dealing with Arthropods, these are very complex structures and the Dorsal cluster is generally referred to as a brain.
