CATDOLL : CATDOLL: King Crab Farming

1. King crab farming

King crab is a deep-sea crab that likes to live on the seabed at a depth of 400 to 600 meters. Such a giant, high-cost and high-demand creature must be raised alone if it is to be raised, which is relatively costly. Generally, only aquariums have the ability to raise it.

King crab, also known as stone crab or rock crab, is a crustacean of the family Crabidae. It is not a real crab and is mainly distributed in cold waters. It is named because of its huge size and is known as the "king of crabs". It is not the same crab as the emperor crab (Pseudolimus giganteus), so please do not confuse it. Due to their huge size and delicious meat, many species are widely caught as food, the most common of which is the Kamchatka Pseudolimus giganteus. King crab belongs to deep-sea crabs, living at a depth of 850 meters and a water temperature of 2-5℃. The lowest water temperature that king crabs can survive is 1.4 degrees Celsius. In September 2011, scientists discovered more than 1 million giant king crabs in a mudbed basin 850 meters below the continental shelf near the coast of Antarctica. Scientists say that the appearance of this large alien carnivore may be the first sign of an ecological catastrophe in the Antarctic waters.

Biological reproduction

The reproduction rate of king crabs is amazing. Each female crab can produce nearly 10,000 surviving crabs every year.

King crabs usually lay eggs in shallows about 350 meters away from April to June every year. These creatures mostly live in muddy sand in shallows and inhabit waters in low-latitude areas.

During the breeding season, female king crabs and male king crabs mate and hatch. Generally speaking, in a king crab's lifespan of about 30 years, the reproductive period is four years.

The hatching ratio of eggs is approximately 16,000/80,000.
