Crab, Shark Invasion May Threaten Antarctic Marine

Antarctica's native marine life is under threat from invasions of king crabs and other predators, researchers said today.

As Earth's oceans heat up because of global warming, king crabs will likely expand into waters that were previously too chilly for them to survive.

Once established in their new habitat, the crabs will decimate native species that are unable to cope with strong, fast-moving predators that can crush their shells, Aronson said.
