King Crab Fishing In Kirkenes
A fisherman is handling a basket full of king crabs at a pier in Jentoftbukta Bay in Kirkenes, Norway, on January 13, 2024. The king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) is known to be one of the largest crabs in the world. Kirkenes, located at the northeastern tip of Norway and in the Barents Sea region, is offering excellent fishing opportunities for this crustacean. The cold, nutrient-rich waters are providing a perfect habitat for this species. King crab fishing trips are often exciting experiences where participants can join fishing boats, set crab traps, and enjoy the beauty of the Arctic landscape. (Photo by Jorge Mantilla/NurPhoto)
