The Bering Sea and the stormy waters surrounding the Aleutian Islands are home to Alaska's main golden king crab fishery. A smaller fishery takes place in the waters off Southeast Alaska. Golden king crab live at much greater depths than Alaska's other king crab. Golden king crab are also known as "brown" king crab and are smaller than red or blue king crab. They are caught using baited crab pots which are lowered to the ocean bottom.
