Declawing of crabs is the process whereby one or both claws of a crab are manually detached before the return of the live crab to the water, as practiced in the fishing industry worldwide. Crabs commonly have the ability to regenerate lost limbs after a period of time, and thus declawing is viewed as a potentially more sustainable method of ...
Lithodes maja, the Norway king crab or northern stone crab, [3] is a species of king crab which occurs in colder North Atlantic waters off Europe and North America. It is found along the entire coast of Norway, including Svalbard, ranging south into the North Sea and Kattegat, the northern half of the British Isles (with a few records off southwest England), and around the Faroe Islands ...
Lithodes santolla, also known as the southern king crab, Chilean king crab or centolla, is a species of king crab, found off southern South America including the offshore Falkland Islands.

Paralithodes californiensis, also known as the spiny king crab and the California king crab, is a species of king crab [1] [2] [3] It is closely related to P. rathbuni with the same common names being used for the two and some authorities suggest that they might be conspecific. [4]
The phylogeny of king crabs as hermit crabs who underwent secondary calcification and left their shell has been suspected since the late 1800s. [4] They are believed to have originated during the Early Miocene in shallow North Pacific waters, where most king crab genera – including all Hapalogastrinae – are distributed and where they exhibit a high amount of morphological diversity.
Like other king crabs, golden king crabs are large and have long, spiny legs; compared with blue and red king crabs, though, they are smaller by a great deal, with a typical weight between 5 and 8 lb, and notably thinner legs. [2] The golden king crab also has a distinctive carapace, which typically has five to nine spines on the mid-dorsal plate.
Instead, plan to thaw a turkey in the refrigerator. Place the turkey on a deep rimmed sheet tray or or a roasting pan lined with a wire rack, which will catch any leaks.
Neolithodes grimaldii, the porcupine crab, [2] is a species of king crab in the family Lithodidae. This large red crab is found in cold deep waters in the North Atlantic and often caught as a bycatch in fisheries for Greenland turbot (Greenland halibut). As suggested by its common name, the carapace and legs are covered in long spines. [3]
