 the shellfish industries. Transactions of the 

 American Fisheries Society, vol. 62, p. 80-83. 

 Increase in the amount of frozen crab meat 

 and in the international trade requires 

 intensive application of scientific handling 

 and fish cultural methods. Experiments 

 indicate that soft shelled crabs also can be 

 sucessfully quick-frozen.
