Lithodes aequispinus, the golden king crab, also known as the brown king crab, is a king crab species native to the North Pacific.[2] Golden king crabs are primarily found in the Aleutian Islands and waters nearer to Alaska and British Columbia; their range also extends to the Russian far east and Japan, albeit with a less dense population.[2][3] Golden king crabs are the smallest of the three commercially viable Alaskan king crab species with an average weight between 5 and 8 lbs (2.3 - 3.6 kg); the other two species being the blue and red king crabs.[2] Golden king crabs were historically caught incidentally in red king crab fisheries, but the first commercial landing took place in 1975; in 1981, the targeted pot-fishing method, a hybrid fishing method specifically for golden king crab, was developed.[3][4]
