Snow crabs are caught as far north as the Arctic Ocean, from Newfoundland to Greenland and north of Norway in the Atlantic Ocean, and across the Pacific Ocean, including the Sea of Japan, the Bering Sea, the Gulf of Alaska, Norton Sound, and even as far south as California for Chionoecetes bairdi.

Snow crab is one of the most abundant species in the bottom-dwelling ecosystem of the eastern Bering Sea. It supports an important commercial fishery, generating an average $150 million annually from 2012 to 2021. In 2021, 59 boats fished for snow crabs and brought $219 million into fishing communities.

The lack of sea ice due to global warming contributed to the decline in the arctic species, which matures in cold pools on the ocean floor. Less ice combined with warmer waters made much of the snow crabs' habitat inhospitable, making way for many to die off. The snow crab stock shortage has economic consequences.
