Name: King crab
Scientific name: Paralithodes Camtschaticus

Red King Crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) is a coldwater species, originally found in the Bering sea, the north Pacific Ocean, around the Kamchatka Peninsula and neighbouring Alaskan waters. In the 1960’s Red King Crab was introduced to the Murmansk Fjord in Russia and within fifteen years the king crabs started turning up as by-catches in Norwegian waters. By 2002 Norway decided to start commercial catching of this new Norwegian species. King crab has six normal legs and two legs with claws. It can reach a maximum carapace length of 23 cm and weight of 8 kilograms.
