fima in Stavanger on electronic stunning of crabs. In this method, the crabs are sent into a machine, which is actually a commercial fish stunner that has been adapted from crabs. The crabs are subjected to a series of electronic shocks so they rapidly lose consciousness. The crabs then enter a tank of ice-water that gives the crab a thermal shock and kills the unconscious shellfish. The traditional method for killing the crabs is manual and would have been too labour-intensive before scanning.
