SUMMARY

SUMMARY

IDENTIFICATION

SCIENTIFIC NAME(s)

Chionoecetes opilio

SPECIES NAME(s)

Queen crab, snow crab

Korean and Russian populations (Bering Sea) of queen (snow) crab are clearly differentiated, as defended by Kang et al. (2013). However the stock structure is not truly understood along the Russian coast, so assessment units are identified (MARF, 2014): Northern Sea of Okhotsk, Karaginsky and W Bering Sea.

According to scientists, queen crab in Karaginsky sub-zone is represented by a single population (Slizkin, 1982; Fedoseev and Slizkin, 1988).
