* COMPLETED STUDENT Kerri completed her Honours thesis in 2009 where she was enrolled at Curtin University. Her project focused on the development of new, novel products from Blue Swimmer Crab. She worked with Abacus Fisheries, a progressive, regional company specialising in the production and processing of Blue Swimmer Crabs. The company had developed techniques for extracting crab meat in large pieces for the fine dining market and extracting the balance of the meat from the carcass as a paste for further processing. Kerri's role was to develop from crab paste and by-products a novel new product. Her project focused on extensive product development work along with consumer acceptability trials. ___________________________________________________ |
