If there any fans out there. What is gonna happen to the show and the fisherman now that the Bearing Sea crab grounds are closed? I have been watching the series since day 1.

They'll probably start doing longer trips further offshore. thats what the fishermen did when the grounds shut on this side of the pond. My best guess is they'll be working the boats further south and in much deeper waters

Bill,

The Snow Crabs are gone. Probably heading to Russia for colder water. King Crab is shut down. 

Coast Guard. It is a big ocean !! Processing, facilities, and fish markets would be forced not to buy any Alaska crab.

Sig was in Norway trying to get into the Norwegian crab industry.

Yeah, I read that.

Maybe they evolved a collective intelligence, decided they were tired of being dinner, and moved into hiding.   :D

My wife and I have steak fillet and King Crabs for our New Year's Eve dinner. A tradition for over 30 years. {OUCH !!} Gonna miss those spiney, hard to cut open crustations,   and they are worth all the hard work.

Maybe they couldn't come to a contract agreement with the network! So they walked!

For what it's worth (not much), I quit eating king and snow crab many years ago.

The populations have been declining from overfishing for decades, but it's been more expedient to lie about it, or more recently to blame "climate change" or other boogieman causes, and avoids placing any responsibility on the part of consumers.

PS: Anybody remember seeing vast herds of buffalo recently? No? Why do you suppose that is?

The government would probably put crab on the forbidden list or protected species alert to all the processers and fish markets.

According to Professor Theodore Nugent of Motor City University, the blame is to be placed on "the white man, with his thick and empty head. He couldn't see past his billfold; he wanted ALL the buffalo dead." 

This happened long ago in the New Magic Land, where the Indian and the buffalo existed hand-in-hand. ;)

(Guess what? I've got a FEVER. And the only prescription...is MORE COWBELL!) B)
