Weight and sea....... Hey here's a hot tip for herb farmers...... Metal Detectors Used for Seafood SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean quarantine authorities are brandishing a new tool for inspecting imports of crabs and exotic blowfish -- metal detectors. Imports from China in recent weeks have shown up with lead pellets inserted in them, making them heavier and therefore more expensive. ``We suspect the lead is being put into blue crab and blowfish to increase weight,'' a Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry official said on Wednesday. ``As a result, we have intensified quarantine services and are using metal detectors.'' South Korean importers pay about 4,250 won ($3.83) per kg for crab and 7,880 won per kg for blowfish, a delicacy in South Korea as in other parts of Asia such as Japan. The ministry reported a one-week search at the ports of Pusan and Inchon uncovered 493 pounds of lead in 13,225 pounds of Chinese blowfish and 189 pounds of lead in 18,450 pounds of blue crab imported from China.
