Scott Beede returns an undersized lobster while checking traps off Mount Desert, Maine. America's commercial fishing industry fell 10% in catch volume and 15% in value during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, federal regulators said Thursday.
“It was fishery closures, boats not going out due to COVID, border closings due to COVID, lots of disruption and the flow of goods and services,” said Michael Liddel, NOAA’s commercial fishery statistics branch chief. Bering Sea snow crabs were among the stocks added to the overfished list. The snow crab fishery, based in Alaska, is one of the most valuable in the country, and was worth more than $100 million at the docks in 2020. Climate factors appear to be playing a role in the decline of Bering Sea snow crabs.The stock could be falling victim to disease, predation and movement in search of colder waters, said Kelly Denit, director of NOAA Fisheries’ Office of Sustainable Fisheries.
