The majority are red king crab are Paralithodes camtschaticus, the blue ones are Paralithodes platypus however the fisheries of that one has collapsed. I think the rest of the year are just Opies / spider crabs / Chionoecetes, which is not the same family as King Crabs. You can tell the difference by the shell. Quote:
