It did vanish overnight!!! Go read up on how fast they disappeared. Yes numbers have been declining but we hit a catastrophic temp event that killed millions of crab.
They starved. It doesn't take long for a crab to starve.
It's worse than that. The snow crab population is close to 10% of what it was in 2009. The point is, this isn't the first time there was a major decline in the snow crab population. It's been dramatically but consistently plummeting over the last decade.
The crab population only 'halved' in 2019 because of a small resurgence in the population in 2018. In reality, the crab population is back on its usual course of being completely screwed by climate change.
