Trym Johansen, a fisherman, with a giant King Crab on his boat near Honningsvag. First introduced to the Barents Sea off northern Russia in the 1960s, red king crabs (Paralithodes camtschaticus) are now spilling down western Norway by the millions. Some fishing communities in northern Norway say the crab, among the largest in the world, has already had a devastating impact.
