Biology:Paralithodes
From HandWiki
Paralithodes is a genus of king crabs native to cold waters in the North Pacific Ocean, Okhotsk Sea, Bering Sea and Sea of Japan,[1] but with one species also introduced to far northern Europe.[2] They are medium-large to very large king crabs, and some species are important to commercial fisheries.[1] A 2017 examination of the phylogeny of king crabs suggests that the internal placement of Paralithodes within this family is not fully resolved.[3]
