Warm winter water temperatures, high Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and Multivariate ENSO (El Ni{\~n}o Southern Oscillation) Indices, and a high abundance of southern copepods are all correlated with strong year classes and vice versa. . . Prior to 2015, green crabs were too rare to exert measurable effects on the native benthic community and on shellfish culture in Oregon and Washington. Following the recent strong El Ni{\~n}o, however, we documented the arrival of four strong year classes in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
