The king crab is also known as the emperor crab, stone crab or rock crab, which is the crustacean of the stone crab family. They are mainly distributed in the cold waters. Named after its huge size, it is known as the "King of the Crab". Due to their large size and delicious meat, many species have been widely captured as food, the most common of which is Kamchatka. In September 2011, scientists discovered more than 1 million giant king crabs in a mud-bed basin located 850 meters below the continental shelf off the coast of Antarctica. Scientists said that the appearance of this exotic large carnivorous animal may be the first sign of an ecological catastrophe in the Antarctic waters.
