Did you know that every king crab you eat is saving the world. Today I'm going to take you to see the king crab flooding the ocean. There are more than 4,500 species of crabs in the world. King crab is not the biggest. The largest crab on the planet is a spider crab called Gan's giant crab. The largest sample spreads its legs to a staggering 4.5 meters. And the king crab is not only not the largest crab, it is not even a crab, is it a cerebellar melon buzzing again. First of all, crabs have eight legs and can only walk sideways, but king crabs only have six legs, and they can not only walk sideways, but they can also walk vertically And that's the most obvious difference between them. So why are king crabs so expensive and flooded? This is because king crabs live in the deep sea area of 850 meters, and they are very difficult and expensive to fish, and they need a special iron cage weighing more than 600 pounds to catch them. If you are not careful, these hundreds of pounds of big guys will fall on the crab fisher himself, and the temperature of the white-collar channel during the crab season is generally around minus 5 to minus 10 degrees, and the crab fishing boats are almost completely wrapped in drift ice, and the boats are also in a state of violent bumps most of the time This makes it very difficult for the crab fishermen to stand firm, and the cold wind at speeds of up to 128 kilometers per hour, when it blows on the crab fisherman, it is as painful as a knifeman's axe. The deadliest thing is that king crabs are caught in limited quantities every year, so crab fishers work at least 20 hours a day, and the high-intensity work almost hollows out their bodies. According to statistics, one in seven crab fishermen dies, and the death rate is 50 times that of ordinary workers. So crab fishermen who earn up to $20,000 a day are still a job that is lacking every year, which is why king crabs are so expensive Let's look at the problem of flooding. Due to the warming of the Antarctic climate, the sea temperature continues to rise, causing king crabs to begin to migrate to Antarctica, coupled with the extremely metamorphosis of king crabs, there are almost no natural enemies in the Antarctic waters, which has led to a sharp increase in the number of king crabs. As early as 2011, scientists found more than 1 million king crabs on the Antarctic continent, which means that the king crabs in Antarctica have also flooded, and according to forecasts, they are now tens of millions, which has seriously endangered the balance of marine ecology But it's hard to control its population by hand, and it also provides an opportunity for the spread and development of the king crab population, and without the natural enemy of humans, the king crab population will naturally flood So every king crab you eat is saving the world, so you've eaten king crab
