Esteban Farías is a fisheries biologist who has studied the ecological impacts of the jaiba mora (Euphylax dovii) along the Ecuadorian coast. He has noted the recent population explosion of this native crab species, attributing it to oceanographic conditions linked to the warming of the sea during El Niño. His research emphasizes the consequences of this proliferation on local artisanal fishermen, highlighting the crab's destructive impact on fishing nets and its contribution to declining catches of commercially valuable species.
