Overseas network November 7, 2019 In the blink of an eye, it is the season to taste crabs again. At an auction held in Tottori Prefecture, Japan, on the 7th, a crab was auctioned for 5 million yen (about 321,000 yuan), breaking the previous Guinness World Record.

According to Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported on the 7th, with the lifting of the ban on fishing on the 6th, the Japanese city of Tottori has ushered in the season of crab catching. At the auction held at Tottori Port on the 7th, the "Gokusei" crab, which was recognized as the most advanced crab brand in Tottori Prefecture, was auctioned for 5 million yen. According to the relevant local authorities, the bidding price of the crab is also the highest known price in the world.

According to the Fisheries Department of Tottori Prefecture, due to the favorable climate in the local area last year, the fishery is developing well, and it is estimated that it will exceed the catchable amount previously allocated to the prefecture. Since December 10, 2018, the size and number of crabs that can be caught in the county has been restricted.

It is reported that in the first auction in 2018, the crab identified as the "Five Radiance Star" was auctioned at a high price of 2 million yen (about 128,500 yuan), breaking the previous Guinness World Record. (Overseas Network Wu Qian)
