Where the heck are the Blue Crabs? by diana

Ok; over the past two days several people have pulled up next to Remedy (Riverkeeper boat) and asked me "where the He## are the Blue Crab?"

Upon analyzing our water quality data this week and consulting with my source at DNR; the South River water quality is now not the best for our Blue Crabs.  The current water temperature is hovering around 85°F at the bottom, the dissolved oxygen is now around 2-3mg/l, and the salinity is 10 (salinity is a unitless number).  Therefore the Blue crabs are in search of better dissolved oxygen and cooler water.  Sorry All, I do love my Blue Crabs too!-- Diana
