Popis: The cannibalistic behavior during all life history stages of the red king crab Paralithodes camtschaticus (Tilesius, 1815) raised under laboratory conditions was studied. All feeding stages were found to be cannibalistic. The major factors affecting the level of cannibalism were identified, and methods were proposed to reduce cannibalism intensity under laboratory conditions.
