Barents Sea King Crab (Paralithodes camtschatica). The transplantation experiments were successfull
As a result of the USSR tranplantation experiments, a viable, self-reproducing poulation of king crab, (Paralithodes camtschatica), is now well established in the Barents Sea. Commercial fishing for king crab is prohibited in both Russia and Norway, but these crabs are frequently taken as bycatches...

As a result of the USSR tranplantation experiments, a viable, self-reproducing poulation of king crab, (Paralithodes camtschatica), is now well established in the Barents Sea.

Mature crabs are most numerous in the Varangerfjord area where experimental trap fishing by the two institutes have yielded catch rates comparable to those of recent years in the Bering Sea. The size distribution of mature Barents Sea king crabs is very similar to that of Alaska waters.
