Life Cycle of Blue King Crabs

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The blue king crab and the red king crab live in the same range but never in the same region. The third lesson in the series of five focuses on the blue king crab and the impact the changes in water temperature is having on its habitat. It pays special attention to the juvenile crabs as they are most sensitive to water temperature.
