I hope most of you would have seen this OG question.
The golden crab of gulf of Mexico has never been hunted in high numbers because it lives in deep sea.
Why "it" isn't ambiguous? Why it cannot refer to "gulf of Mexico", even though generally "It/They" is assumed that it refers to nearest Noun/Pronoun.
Or a Pronoun in a compound sentence can only refer to subject/object?
If the reason is object/subject case, then most of the pronoun errors we encounter will be resolved and we will have problems in Process of Elimination....
Please help.

When you think you can or you cannot, you are generally correct.
