Notice that this article is from 2021 for last year's catch.
"The 2021 fall harvest of Bristol Bay red king crab, another important source of revenue for that fleet, was canceled for this year because of too few females."
The collapse has been happening for years. This year it's just another species. Species by species it's going to collapse. Next will be shrimp and krill.
Don't be surprised when the salmon runs collapse too, because for 3 years now every single year has been a 90% decline.
