Effect of temperature on growth and maturity of the king crabs <i>Paralithodes brevipes</i> and <i>P. camtschaticus</i> in the laboratory

The introduced species red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) in the Barents Sea

“…Red king crab growth has been studied by both laboratory rearing (Gray, 1963;Weber, 1967;Takeshita, 1976, 1990;Shirley et al, 1990;Paul and Paul, 1995;Zhou et al, 1998;Kittaka and Onoda, 2002) and mark and recapture of field-caught crabs (Bright, 1967;Jørstad et al, 2002). A literature compilation on early tagging history for red king crabs in Alaska from 1954 through 1969 has been published by Donaldson (1997).…”
