in alaska, three species of king crab are caught commercially: the red king crab ("paralithodes camtschaticus", found in bristol bay, norton sound, and the kodiak archipelago), blue king crab ("paralithodes platypus", st. matthew island and the pribilof islands), and golden king crab ("lithodes aequispinus", aleutian islands). the red king crab is the most prized of the three for its meat. a fourth variety of king crab, the scarlet king crab ("lithodes couesi"), is too small and rare to be commercially viable, even though its meat is considered sweet and tasty. specific size requirements must be met: only certain types of king crab are legal at different times of the year and only males can be kept.
