Minerals included in Crab, including copper, zinc,
and selenium, help boost the immune system.
This post examines the market analysis and
proximate composition of several crabs and the
health advantages.
INTERNATIONAL TRADEThe crab market can develop by USD 3.02
billion between 2021 and 2025, with the
market growing at a CAGR of 3.17 %.
Contd...
Crab imports (all sorts) fell from 1, 91,165 tons in the
first half of 2019 to 1, 63,055 tons in the same time in
2020. (-14.7%).
The major importer was the United States of America,
which exhibited a small decrease in imports (-1.4 %).
The Republic of Korea was the second-highest
importer, with 26,569 tons compared to 27,043 tons
during the same time in 2019.
So yet, the COVID-19 scenario does not appear to be
affecting total US crab imports.
Contd...
Imports were 59,343 tons in the first six months of 2020,
compared to 60,201 tons in the same period of 2019.
Crab shipments from Canada to the United States
increased dramatically in the first half of 2020.
A total of 14,845 tons were imported from Canada in June
alone.
Crab imports into China, on the other hand, fell by nearly
31% to 25,713 tons. All suppliers felt the decline.
The Russian Federation was the greatest provider,
although it sent 13% less than in the same time last year.
Contd...
projected to be maintained in 2020. China and the rest of Asia are anticipated to
absorb half of Russia's live crab exports.
In the first half of 2020, the Republic of Korea imported 3,339 tons of live king crab.
The Russian Federation was the most crucial provider, accounting for more than 90%
of the total.
The Republic of Korea is a chief importer of live Norwegian king crab.
The Norwegian Crab has a little higher price of USD 39.78 per kilogramme than the
Russian Crab, which fetches USD 35.27 per kilogramme (prices for June 2020).
Contd...
Although the Japanese market has slowed in recent years,
imports of frozen king crab grew to 1,202 tons in the first
half of 2020, up from 1,046 tons in the same time in 2019.
The cost of frozen king crab has also increased. Snow crab
imports from Japan, on the other hand, fell by 26% to 9,362
tons.
Russian exports fell by 13.5 % to 26,796 tons in the first
half of the year.
Republic of Kore accounting for more than two-thirds of the
total volume of the market.
Contd...
Swimming crab imports to the United States totalled 11,386 tonnes in the first six months of
2020, down just 7% from the same period last year.
Indonesia was responsible for 53% of the total, or 6,077 tonnes. Swimming crab landings
typically peak during the rainy season, which finished in July, so supplies from Indonesia are
projected to drop between the summer and the New Year.
Production isn't projected to rise again until January, when the next rainy season begins.
Thus increasing supplies won't hit the market until February 2021. It is anticipated that prices
will rise.
CRABS IN INDIA
The Portunidae family includes the majority of edible crabs found in marine and brackish
water habitats.
Podopthalmidae (Borradaile), catoptrinae (Sakai), portuninae (Rafinesque), caphyrinae
(Alcock), Carcininae (Macleay), and Polybinnae are the subfamilies of the Portunidae
family that live in the Indian Ocean (ortmann).
The protuminae subfamily is home to the majority of edible crabs found in marine and
brackishwater habitats.
Contd...
Various authors have documented the presence of five
genera of portuninae in the waters near India.
Scylla, Portunus, Charybdis, Lupocyclus, and Thalamita
are the names of the five mythical creatures. Portunus
pelagicus (blue swimmer crab), Scylla spp.
(mud crabs), P. Sanguinolentus (three-spotted Crab),
Charybdis feriatus (Crucifix crab), c.lucifera (yellowish-
brown Crab), C.Natator (line crab), and podophthalmus
vigil (line crab) are the first three genera that
contribute to the commercial crab fishery (long eye-
stalk Crab; sub fly. podopthalmidae).

All shellfish, including Crab, contain a high level of selenium.
Selenium is an antioxidant that counteracts the carcinogenic
effects of cadmium, mercury, and arsenic, all known to induce
cancers in humans.
Higher levels of selenium in the blood have been linked to a
decreased risk of cancer.
In reality, lysate, taken from the horse-shoe Crab's blue blood,
is utilised to identify spinal meningitis and combat cancer.
HEALTHBENEFITS
OF EATINGCRAB MEAT
Contd...
While crab meat has low saturated fat content, chromium in
the flesh helps raise HDL (good cholesterol) levels in the
body, lowering the risk of strokes, coronary, and circulatory
heart disease.
Crabs, in reality, contain sterol, which inhibits the
absorption of other cholesterol consumed during a meal,
therefore negating the adverse effects of other fats
consumed.
i) Cholesterol
Contd...
All shellfish, including crabs, are high in omega-3 fatty acids.
The crabs obtain these from phytoplanktons and algae, which
are an essential element of their diet.
People benefit greatly from omega-3 fatty acids because they
assist in reducing the stickiness of blood platelets, making
red blood cells more flexible and ensuring a smoother flow.
Tri-glycerides and LDL (low-density lipoproteins), which clog
arterial walls as deposits, are likewise reduced by omega-3
acids.
ii) Omega 3 fatty acids
Contd...
Crab is one of the most significant protein sources
accessible in the diet. It has about the same amount of
protein per 100 grams as meat, but none saturated fat, linked
to an increased risk of heart disease.
Because Crab lacks connective tissue, its protein is good
quality and easily digested by persons of all ages.
iii) Protein
Contd...
Selenium is abundant in all shellfish, but crab flesh is
exceptionally high in it. Selenium is an essential part of the
human antioxidant defence system, protecting cells and
tissues from damage.
Selenium is also vital for immune system function, thyroid
hormone metabolism, and reproduction hormone synthesis.
For males, 100g of crab flesh contains 112% of the required
daily intake, while it gives 140% of the daily recommended
amount for women.
iv) Selenium
Contd...
v) Riboflavin (vitamin B2)
Vitamins must be received through our diet, such as crab meat because they are water-soluble
and cannot be stored in the body.
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is necessary for creating steroid hormones and red blood cells and
normal development and the health of the skin, eyes, and neurological system.
Riboflavin also aids iron absorption in the gastrointestinal system and promotes antioxidant
activity. Riboflavin turnover in the human body is considered to be linked to energy expenditure.
Therefore physically active persons may have a higher need for Riboflavin in their diet.
Contd...
vi) Copper and phosphorus
The copper content in crab flesh is about 30 times
that of cod and 56 times that of salmon, chicken, and
beef.
Although iron receives the majority of the focus,
copper is involved in iron absorption, storage, and
metabolism.
It aids in creating red blood cells and maintains the
integrity of bones, blood vessels, neurons, and the
immune system.
Contd...
Phosphorus is the body's second most prevalent mineral,behind calcium.
It is a significant component of bones and teeth and plays avital role in skeletal health and development.
Phosphorus is involved in nearly every metabolic process in thebody, including kidney function, cell proliferation, and heartmuscle contraction.
It also plays a role in the conversion of food into energy.
CONCLUSION
Fishery produces 73.5 % of the crabs marketed worldwide, and there is little indication that
fisheries populations can tolerate considerable increases in catch quantities.
Climate change, overfishing, pollution, and habitat destruction, on the other hand, are likely to
drastically diminish the supply of animals in the following years or decades.
In most nations, aquaculture, on the other hand, is still a long way from being a feasible
alternative for ensuring the long-term viability of this productive chain.
Contd...
The growth of aquaculture based on caught juveniles or intermolt animals may also strain
wild populations.
Crab hatchery and rearing technology are still in their infancy, making industrial-scale
development difficult.
High production costs and accompanying hazards (such as the newly revealed highly
pathogenic reovirus) are all factors restricting aquaculture development, putting it in an
adverse position to compete with fishing.
Contd...
By conducting studies on the fisheries' biology of commercially exploited populations,
developing less predatory practises and more selective fishing gears, and reducing the
impacts associated with bycatch, fisheries companies, research institutions, funding, and
regulatory agencies are critical agencies work together.
The key issues in aquaculture include improving productivity through larviculture techniques,
focusing on reducing losses due to cannibalism, feeding larvae and juveniles, reducing viral
disease effects, and advancing the cultivation systems' technological advancement.
