Crabs: The Most Dangerous Catch • 2023 • 52 minutes

Kamchatka king crab meat, found in Russia’s Far Eastern seas, is regarded worldwide as a refined and expensive delicacy. But do gourmets know how the crab reaches their table? Crab fishing is firmly among the world's most dangerous professions. Long haul voyages without port calls, towering waves, fierce storms — these are only some of the hardships that a crab boat crew must overcome on every trip. Join us as we travel to the shores of Kamchatka aboard the vessel Ostrovnoy-10 to learn how crabs are caught in the open sea. Unique underwater footage will allow viewers to observe the secret life of Kamchatka crabs on the ocean floor. We’ll explore why crabs undertake annual migrations and travel hundreds of kilometers. Additionally, we’ll discover who threatens these strong, well-armed creatures and see how crabs care for their offspring.
