Abstract
The paper deals with a comparative analysis of the Barents Sea red king crab fecundity, size composition and sizes of 50%-mature individuals. The analysis was carried out with the focus on the period of the expansion and acclimatization of the species before commercial exploitation and on the present when crab is actively taken. Based on the literature data, the difference was reviewed between the above-mentioned parameters and that in the red king crab native habitat. According to the recent research data (2019–2022), the Barents Sea red king crab show a decreasing trend of its reproductive capacity compared to that in the period of active acclimatization before commercial exploitation (1995–2003). The maximum carapace width (CW) of berried females decreased on the average from 197 mm to 175 mm whereas the average CW size of 50%-mature individuals increased from 116 mm to 121 mm in these periods. There was a significant decrease found in the weight of eggs in a clutch (39%) and individual absolute fecundity (30%) of same-sized females. The weight of an egg also decreased by 12% on the average. In addition to that, there is a statistically significant decrease in fecundity per CW that may be attributed to the fact that there is a decrease in number of large males that are engaged in the reproduction and contribute to effective fertilization of more eggs laid by a female. Changes of the reproductive features of the Barents Sea red king crab population over the last few years make it more similar to native populations in the Pacific.
