The snow crab, which was sold for 2 million yen in an adult auction and was certified as the "highest crab in the world" by the Guinness World Records at that time, died.
The facility that was bred will be stuffed and exhibited in the future.
This snow crab was auctioned off for 2 million yen as the highest-class male snow crab brand "Gokisei" called "Matsuba Gani", and was the "most expensive crab sold at the auction" in the Guinness World Records at that time. It was certified as a record.
The snow crab was donated by the winning bidder to the "Tottori Karo Kanikkokan" in Tottori City, and has been exhibited and bred for about two years, but died on the 23rd.
According to the Kanikkokan, the lifespan of snow crabs is said to be about 15 years, and when they were landed, they were already estimated to be 12 to 16 years old, so it is said that they died.
"Kanikkokan" commented, "I'm glad I lived a long time and lived my life. I'm grateful to many people for giving me surprise and excitement."
At "Kanikkokan", this snow crab will be stuffed and exhibited in the future.
