New genetic research on the Alaska red king crab reveals previously undiscovered diversity among different regions, suggesting the species is more resilient to climate change and changing ocean conditions.
Scientific team will continue conducting its photo-identification project this year using an uncrewed aerial system to estimate abundance and trends for this endangered whale population.
Water temperature affects many species' spawning times, access to food, growth rates, and overall range. Collecting temperature data helps better understand the species’ habitats and the larger ecosystem.
