This Arctic soft-shelled creature is indeed huge, with an arm span (the longest distance from the tip of the left foot to the tip of the right foot when the foot is spread out) of up to 1.8 meters. However it is not the emperor of crabs - not even a true crab. The king crab belongs to the family of stone crabs of the order Heteropoda, a relative of hermit crabs and armored shrimp, while the crabs belong to the order Hypodactyla. The biggest difference between king crabs and crabs in appearance is that king crabs look . Only three pairs of footsteps, while the crab has four pairs, the fourth pair of footsteps degradation is very serious, leaving only the role of cleaning the gill chamber. Although the king crab has an arm span of 1.8 meters, each leg is nearly 1 meter long. It is mainly the legs of the king crab that people eat. King crab is expensive not because of low production (its population is actually very large, and in the Barents Sea, king crab is an invasive species), but because of the very high cost of harvesting and transportation. First of all, the climate where the king crab comes from is very harsh, and the fishing is very hard; secondly, it has to be transported alive, otherwise it will not be fresh, and for this reason, the fishermen even invented an instrument to check the heart rate of the king crab it!
Emperor crab, the scientific name of the huge proposed shore crab (Pseudocarcinus gigas), this guy belongs to the short-tailed lower order, there are 10 legs, is a real crab, mainly distributed in the shallow waters of all of Australia, to the slow-moving invertebrates for food. The emperor crab is the true king of crabs - it is the heaviest crab in the world. The adult weight of this crab regularly exceeds 20 kilograms, with a record high of 36 kilograms!
Emperor crabs are dominant and peculiar looking; they are naturally red in color, like a cooked crab. Male king crabs have large chelicerae that are almost as long as their bodies, and two pincers, one large and one small: the large pincer is used to show off or fight with "rivals", while the small pincer is used for eating. Female king crabs have two chelae that are the same size. If a male king crab breaks his large cheliped in a fight, a new one will grow after the next molt, and the former small cheliped will become the new large cheliped.
Currently the price of these two kinds of crabs are (for reference only), the domestic market circulation specifications 2-3.5 kilograms of mainly king crab market price of 130-3XX fluctuation.
While the market price per kg of king crab is between 3xx-5xx RMB, commonly marketed size 2-6kg, with 15kg+ in extreme cases.
You can see that the price of king crab is quite expensive than king crab.
