Omega does the same thing in the Chesapeake Bay in Va./Md. and off the coast of NC. Menhaden is the main food source of a lot of the fish in this area, especially Stripers and Drum. When the Menhaden stocks are depleted, these fish turn to the crabs for food. Guess what is in short supply in the bay right now?--your guessed it---crabs !!

Omega must have a lot of pull around here also because it doesn't seem to be anything slowing them down. NC has tried to get a law passed that would keep them out 3 miles off the coast but it hasn't been successful yet.
