Gulf of Mexico fishermen, scientists and seafood processors are finding a lot of mutated shrimp, crab and fish that they believe are deformed by chemicals released during BP's 2010 oil disaster. Their are also signs of malignant impact on the regional ecosystem are ominous: nasty mutated shrimp, fish with oozing sores, underdeveloped blue crabs lacking claws, eyeless crabs and shrimp, and people say BP's oil pollution has to be the cause. They are also catching them in Alabama and Mississippi. Their finding eyeless crabs, crabs with their shells soft instead of hard, full grown crabs that are one-fifth their normal size, clawless crabs, and crabs with shells that don't have their usual spikes. This is so scary to think about what if one day to you wanted shrimp and didn't even realize what you are eating?
