English term or phrase: KING CRAB
anyone know the Hebrew name for this type of crab?
mumbojumbo
Hebrew translation:סרטן מלכותי (no official name exists)
Explanation:
Evidently, official names for animal species are assigned by the Academy of the Hebrew Language only concerning the species with habitat in Israel or its surroundings. No official name was assigned for king crab.

It was suggested by an expert to call it "סרטן מלכותי".
