Researchers at the University of North Carolina's (UNC) Aquarium Research Center have found that higher atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide — a greenhouse gas that's linked to global warming — are also causing crabs to grow to bigger, faster and stronger, according to the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/2013/04/07/a0c29f48-972f-11e2-b68f-dc5c4b47e519_story.html).

And then this:


Moreover, the fast-growing crabs have less meat in them, making this doubly bad news for fans of seafood.

How is that even possible? :confused:

I thought this thread said giant Carbs. I am disappointed. Horespower might want to know how to get rid of these giant crabs though.

I think that is pure BS. If the craps eat more, and what they eat is growing slower, how can they be growing faster?

It doesn't matter:nonod:


The important thing is to reach a "government friendly" conclusion. This will insure another 500 million dollar government grant to study something equally ridiculous.

Maybe it's the BP oil that's making them bigger. :eek:

I gotta disagree with you, the global warming weenies will be all over that, and get the seafood people all in a tiz about how they won't be making more money off their big crabs and then what????? Bring out Al Gore!!!!!

Liberal researchers are looking for an ever increasing piece of the govt pie. Find something that no one can understand (because it's B.S.)and throw a few billion at it.... Makes perfect sense to any obammy lover.

I wish we had a giant crab problem here. This has been the crappiest stone crab season in years. Last winter I was buying em in 3 lb bags for $20. This winter I could hardly get my hands on them. At least I didn't have to worry about gout flare-ups. lol.
