I can't remember a day otw in the last couple of years that I have not either seen, video'd or metered them. Sometimes on the surface, and sometimes on the bottom. And they can be stratified at any depth of the water column. Sometimes they are spread thru the entire water column.

FYI, last Summer these pelagic red crabs also decided to invade Mission Bay by the millions ... haven't seen them there yet this year, but that might be coming as well.

Now the real question is, can you eat them? It seems like that question always comes up at some point.

if they are the ones they sell as languistino lobster you can. I wonder if Yanni has any thoughts on this. They do look like a little lobster
