Snow crab is a relatively new species for the Norwegian seafood industry. The aim of this project has been to contribute towards a sustainable crab fishery in the future and to make the best possible use of this new resource.

Did you know that crabs do not need to be cooked in boiling water in order to become delicious food? And what on Earth do crabs, fruits and vegetables have in common?

Nofima has a world-leading interdisciplinary research environment for the delicacy that will spearhead Norwegian seafood exports: Crab.

A meeting between a construction company from Ålesund and a researcher from Tromsø may lead to increased profitability for a new seafood industry in the Barents Sea.

A number of Nofima researchers are publishing a collection of the established knowledge and research results on king crab and snow crab in the renowned scientific journal “Reviews in Fisheries Science & Aquaculture”.

What characterizes the markets for live snow crab and king crab? Industrial marketing was this project's primary focus.
