This makes Canada very similar to the United Sates in terms of fishery resources with the exceptions of the U.S. The ministry’s goal is to create a profitable export market for Korea’s growing aquaculture industry.Ĭanada is almost a carbon copy of the United Sates in terms of land mass and miles of coastline. Sustainable aquaculture development is promoted and managed by the Korean Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. Korea ranks number 14th in world aquaculture production. At present, aquaculture provides the remaining 30% of Korea’s seafood production and consists of mainly seaweed, shellfish, and finfish. As Korea’s wild fisheries production declined during the past 15 years, the Korean government initiated efforts to develop and expand aquaculture to help fill the shortfall. Wild fisheries have historically been the dominant production method for seafood and today represents roughly 70% of their total production.

The market names of species of fish and crustacean shellfish should be used to identify the food source of these two major food allergens. The name of the food source that must be listed on the label for fish or crustacean shellfish must be the specific type of fish or crustacean shellfish. The act defines eight foods, and any ingredients derived from these foods as major food allergens: Fish, Crustacean Shellfish, Milk, Eggs, Tree Nuts, Peanuts, Wheat & Soybeans. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act now requires that all foods that are not raw agricultural commodities and that contain a major food allergen be labeled to clearly identify the name of the food source form which the allergen is derived. Consuming snow crab meat and sections immediately after proper thawing yields the best quality. Crab that is not consumed promptly after thawing needs to be refrigerated between 33 and 39☏ and consumed within 2-3 days. The snow crab clusters should be gently rinsed to remove the protective ice glaze and then thawed under refrigeration in a similar manner. This method results in a high quality thawed crab meat that retains its natural juices and delicate texture. To thaw frozen snow crab meat, place a 5# block in a sealed container or plastic bag in the refrigerator (33 to 39☏) for 24-48 hours or until the block is entirely thawed.
