How many legs
[edit]How many legs is this crab supposed to have ?Eregli bob (talk) 06:33, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
Removal in the Respiration section
[edit]I removed the paragraph "There are several factors which play a role in the respiratory system of Paralithodes Camtschaticus. The diffusion rate needs to be considered which can be seen through Fick's laws of diffusion and through Henry’s Law. Fick's laws of diffusion gives us more insight on the partial pressures of our substance, oxygen and carbon dioxide. This enhances our understanding of the fact that diffusion of gases occurs from an area of high concentration to an area with low concentration. Henry’s Law allows us to understand the different physical environments of the air and water and also states that as temperature increases, the solubility of gas decreases.", because I can't see what this interesting general physics course has to do here. Hoping y'all agree... otherwise its here to put back. --Jacques de Selliers (talk) 18:31, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
to what extent can they swim?
[edit]King crab can walk forwards and backwards (unlike some crab that can only move sideways). Some crab can swim (they have specially adapted rear legs that act as paddles). I suspect that red king crab can not swim well, but that they may swim (propel themselves in water) to some extent? If so, how does this vary between juveniles, females, and males.? Can anyone add this information to the article? FreeFlow99 (talk) 12:12, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

"Stalin's Crab"
[edit]I'm unable to independently verify this fact. I've only found german articles saying Norwegians call them "Stalin's crab". Googleing "stalinkrabbe" gives me about zero results.
The source being a facebook post doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the statement Soffagrisen2 (talk) 06:57, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
