The entire premise of this article is based on the word “could”.

Hasn’t been found for tens of millions of years? So who found them back then? What did they use to find them? Were they aliens? Stupidest read ever!

Any article supposedly based on Science needs to have numbers, ie. how “hot” the water is now and how “hot” it was 1 year ago, 10 years ago. etc. Don’t hold your breath, though.

Except of course for the title, where it is stated as a fact.

It's a little hard for me to understand how a region of the ocean that includes a gigantic sheet of ice could go much above the equilibrium temperature of a mixture of ice and seawater, but what do I know.

“could”....”could” be going to the water on Mars, where they haven’t been seen for tens of millions of years.
Oh my.
To: FrankR
The crabs have either NEVER been there before, just migrated there or were SEEDED there recently by the “Most Dangerous Catch” gang, or have been there all along.
Crabs are coldblooded; meaning that when it gets too cold, when it’s winter in the southern hemisphere, they merely go dormant?
Somebody is blowing smoke. And I don’t care for smoked crab.

“could, may, possibly, predicted to”
Those words are used liberally in all climate change stories

Yeah, whats wrong with fishing the overabundance of king crab? Tell the Chinese or Japanese.
These chicken little kooks expect the climate to be stagnant and nothing in nature to change, when this is an absolutely, scientific and unnatural expectation and claim.
To: Tucker39
I read a fascinating article re an edible species of crab native only to Alaskan waters was introduced to the area around northern Finland.
No one knows how they got there but they have been there for a few years.

It hasa been warmer than it has now, and the temperature changes are not even recordable with the most modern of equipment, so how the heel can there be such a huge change in a critters range?
To: RayChuang88
The fishing vessel FIERCE ALLEGIANCE can handle the job!
To: Travis T. OJustice
That boat is too small to handle the wild waves of the Antarctic waters. Indeed, much of the world's known rogue wave activity happens in the waters south of the south tip of Africa and South America.

Meanwhile, back in reality land, Antarctic sea ice is growing in extent and thickness.
