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. [3] On the Pacific side, it is found in Chile from Talcahuano to Cape Horn. [3] [4] On the Atlantic side, it is found off Argentina and Uruguay. [3]
The red king crab is the most coveted of the commercially sold king crab species, and it is the most expensive per unit weight. It is most commonly caught in the Bering Sea and Norton Sound , Alaska, and is particularly difficult to catch, but is nonetheless one of the most preferred crabs for consumption.
The Tasmanian giant crab (Pseudocarcinus gigas), also known as the Tasmanian king crab, giant deepwater crab, giant southern crab, queen crab, or bullcrab, is a very large species of crab that resides on rocky and muddy bottoms in the oceans off Southern Australia. [2] [3] It is the only extant species in the genus Pseudocarcinus. [4]

Lithodes australiensis is a species of king crab. [1] They live in southeastern Australia, known as far north as Cape Hawke and as far south as the South Tasman Rise. [1] They have been found at depths between 540–1,312 m (1,772–4,304 ft), but they typically live between 1,000–1,100 m (3,300–3,600 ft).
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.
Red crabs have only been commercially fished for about 30 years, so little is known about their biology and reproduction. The National Marine Fisheries Service has deemed them a data-poor stock.
