Hundreds of Thousands of Tuna Crab Washed Up On Shore! Pelagic Red Crabs

6/15/2015
Hundreds of Thousands of Dead and Dying Crustaceans Wash Up On Shore in Huntington Beach this morning! They are called Pelagic Red Crabs or Tuna Crab. The crabs are native to the waters of the Gulf of California, Baja California and the California Current. They spend most of their lives free swimming in large schools in the ocean. The crabs eat plankton and spend much of their time grazing in the upper 200 meters of the ocean. We have had some strong warm water currents from the south, which have brought them, unusually, further north and ashore. This occurrence may be related to El Nino.
