Experiments with crab meal in feed for farming salmon in the seawater phase had a significant positive effect on growth. King crab flour proved to be just as suitable as shrimp flour in a lobster starter. There is significant potential in the use of king crab meal in shellfish feed both nationally and internationally. The amino acid profile of crab meal suggests that it may have potential in the production of artificial bait or as an attractive source of feed for wild-caught cod. Cleaning of raw crab muscle is a time consuming process and freshly cooked crab tails are easiest to clean immediately after cooking. Muscle in the crab tails differs sensory compared to muscle in the gait. In general, the tails are described with lower intensity in taste in addition to hard and tough chewing on compared to muscle from walking legs to crabs. Crab tails have significant potential. Nofima recommends exporting fresh or frozen unprocessed product. Although fish gills are a sought-after raw material for the production of fish sauce, it is uncertain whether king crab gills are equally suitable. The protein content of the gills is low, and this also leads to low protein content in the sauce and relatively low sauce yield.
