Can you raise King Crab in a salt water aquarium?

Has anyone tried to raise an Alaskan King Crab in an aquarium?|||There is a commerical stock facility in Hokkaido Japan where 5-8 pound females Red King Crabs with eggs are kept in large pens until their eggs hatch and then they are released. the eggs are hatched and kept until they reach a size where they just have no more room for them, but it keeps the population up. It's technically called King Crab Enhancement. I have no idea how big the pens are, but thousands of gallons seems logically for animal over 5 feed wide in numbers.



So the answer is no at home, but in scientific research facility with access to runninh cold sea water, yes..|||Sure, if you have a cold-water aquarium about the size of the Pacific Ocean.


The Alaska Sea Life Center in Seward, Alaska has some very large crabs in very large tanks.





Those tanks would not fit in the average house, though.|||I think they need really cold deep water. You'd have to have an igloo mansion to raise King Crabs as pets.|||You would need a huge tank...it would be really awesome if you could.|||yes in a 200 gallen tank
