Although most of them are not abundant enough to sustain fisheries there are over 100 species of king crabs. Among the most known ones are Lithodes aequispinus (golden king crab), Lithodes couesi (scarlet king crab), Paralithodes camtschaticus (red king crab) and Paralithodes platypus (blue king crab).
