To dispel rumors: crab water injection, not weight gain Mt. jpg
Recently, the Hangzhou Municipal Market Supervision and Administration commissioned a third-party testing agency to do a simulation experiment to inject tap water and saline into crabs.
The staff of Zhejiang Justice Inspection Center prepared four fresh hairy crabs in advance. The first group was two female crabs, which were injected with tap water. Workers used syringes to extract 10 milliliters of tap water and inject it separately. One female crab was injected from the back and the other from the abdomen. I see that 10 milliliters of tap water can not be fully injected, at least half of the overflow. The crab that was struggling just now lost its vitality in a few seconds after being flooded with water. It was evidently "wilting". Eight minutes later, the crabs remained motionless. about 15 minutes later, they died completely. The second group used normal saline. Repeat the above steps, the weight gain of the two male crabs is not obvious, and lost power after water injection, in which the male crab 2 has been spitting foam. about twenty minutes later, two crabs died one after another.
"Water-flooding crabs and needle-eyed crabs are rumors that have been circulating for many years. Experiments show that water injection does not add much weight to crabs, and after water injection, the endocrine of crabs will lose balance and die soon. Jiang Rongxiang, director of the Department of Publicity and Emergency Management of Hangzhou Market Supervision Bureau, said.
Jiang Rongxiang introduced that crabs squeeze each other in the process of fishing and transportation. Crab shells and feet pierce the bodies of other crabs and produce perforations, which look like pinholes.
Jiang Rongxiang said that the video of commercial syringes injecting crabs on the Internet was actually a cooking technique, which injected the ingredients into crabs in advance and then cooked immediately, not to gain weight.
