Sampling Methods

Red king crab were caught with a variety or traps, trawls and nets, and counted in situ by the use of a video sled. Data comes from both red king crab-specific cruises (in which case presence and absence stations are recorded), and cruises with other purposes where red king crab was caught (only presence is recorded).

Study Extent Barents Sea, coastal Finnmark (Northern Norway). 1994-2023, mostly during the fall months (August-September-October)
