China is the main country of aquatic products production in the world.The output of aquatic products has been ranking first in the world for twentyone years.However,the utilization percent is low,and it causes serious resource waste and pollution.The improvement of fishery resources utilization efficiency is important to reducing environmental pollution,improving the economic benefits of aquatic product processing plants,increasing the consumption level of the people and realizing high efficient and low carbon in the aquatic product processing industry.The head and shell portion of shrimp is removed during processing and it yields large amount of wastes.Autolysis technology effectively recovered the protein and other nutrient components,and a low alkali method was carried out to recover the chitin efficiently.The processing was low pollution and the products had high added value.Thus it achieved a high efficient and low carbon utilization of shrimp.The low carbon and high efficient utilization technology of shrimp has been industrialized in several enterprises.The economic benefits were notable.Good demonstration effects can be expected for the processing of other aquatic products.Based on the above content,the paper prospects the trends of the low carbon processing technology of aquatic products.
