The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) 2009 market report
on shrimp has indicated that the demand for shrimp in all major
markets has decreased substantially and prices have declined as
a result. The report encourages diversification as a means to effectively
manage the current economic climate (Boisset, 2009). Lack
of stability of the market prices is even more critical for small-scale
producers, such as the Inuit owned Nunavik BioSciences Inc. The
Inuit coastal communities in Northern Quebec and Labrador rely
heavily on commercial catch of the Northern shrimp, Pandalus
borealis Kreyer (Pandaladae). Finding an alternative income stream
from previously discarded by-products presents an attractive
opportunity for this sector as the head, shells and tails (by-products)
constitute approximately 50% of the catch. The components
and nutritional quality of shrimp processing by-products has been
described in detail for Northern pink shrimp, P. borealis (Heu, Kim,
& Shahidi, 2003). Review of this data revealed good levels of x-3
PUFAs; 8.9% eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 10.7% docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA). Several studies have investigated shrimp shell
