Abstract
The character of the spatial distribution of the opilio snow crab commercial males in different areas of the northeastern part of the Sea of Okhotsk is considered based on the data collected in 1996–2010 and 2014. The densest aggregations of the crab revealed are in the Shelikhov Bay and adjacent sea waters. Size composition of the males and their size-frequency distribution were analyzed, the average commercial size is figured out. Conclusions about the state of the stock of opilio snow carb in the area considered and the prospects for its development are made.
