Growth of the red king crab Paralithodes camtschaticus in the northwestern Okhotsk Sea
The red king crabs of Ayan-Shantar population are the slowest growing ones among this species. Their growth during one moulting is estimated on the base of tagging and size composition. Growth curves and size-age keys are determined for males and females from certain parts of the population using the moulting probability dependence on body size.
