"people throw king crabs back because there is a little number of king crabs left."from Kane m
i don't agree with that answer about the little number, the season is set according to help eliminate overfishing king crabs. The reasons they throw crabs back is becaues they are either females which are illegal to keep, or the size of the crab doesn't meet the size standards.
