Population characteristics of red king crabs were examined in Dalnezelenetskaya Bay (Barents Sea) in 2002-2008. Immature individuals were the most abundant, their sex ratio did not vary from the theoretical level 1:1. Females predominated among mature crabs. Size at 50% morphometric maturity in males was calculated to be 91,8 mm (carapace width). Total crab stock varied from 4 000 to 7 500 specimens in 2002-2007 while a marked decline in this parameter (350 individuals only) was observed in 2008
