The west Antarctic Peninsula shelf is warming rapidly and has been hypothesized to be soon invaded by lithodids. A remotely operated vehicle survey in Palmer Deep, a basin 120 km onto the Antarctic shelf, revealed a large, reproductive population of lithodids, providing the first evidence that king crabs have crossed the Antarctic shelf. DNA sequencing and morphology indicate the lithodid is <i>Neolithodes yaldwyni</i> Ahyong & Dawson, previously reported only from Ross Sea waters. We estimate a <i>N. yaldwyni</i> population density of 10 600 km<sup>-2</sup> and a population size of 1.55 × 10<sup>6</sup> in Palmer Deep, a density similar to lithodid populations of commercial interest around Alaska and South Georgia. The lithodid occurred at depths of more than 850 m and temperatures of more than 1.4°C in Palmer Deep, and was not found in extensive surveys of the colder shelf at depths of 430–725 m. Where <i>N. yaldwyni</i> occurred, crab traces were abundant, megafaunal diversity reduced and echinoderms absent, suggesting that the crabs have major ecological impacts. Antarctic Peninsula shelf waters are warming at approximately 0.01°C yr<sup>-1</sup>; if <i>N. yaldwyni</i> is currently limited by cold temperatures, it could spread up onto the shelf (400–600 m depths) within 1–2 decades. The Palmer Deep <i>N. yaldwyni</i> population provides an important model for the potential invasive impacts of crushing predators on vulnerable Antarctic shelf ecosystems.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"A large population of king crabs in Palmer Deep on the west Antarctic Peninsula shelf and potential invasive impacts","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-25 01:31:49.700925","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Neolithodes yaldwyni Ahyong & Dawson","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2011,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-02-17","DateCreate":"2011-10-10","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000299910400024","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1098/rspb.2011.1496"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":208373,"PubliDate":2011,"Pagination":"1017-1026","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"279","Issue":"1730","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":204863,"SerRR":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of London.
