Description
Arctic ginseng (also known as Atlantic sea cucumber) is produced in the waters of Nova Scotia in the North Atlantic, and Canada is the largest producer of Arctic ginseng. In recent years, the production of Arctic ginseng has shown a downward trend. Local fishermen use trawling methods to catch them, not divers. After they are caught, they are quickly transported by refrigerated trucks to the cold storage of local processing plants in Canada (usually, the temperature of the cold storage is controlled at -4 ℃), Fresh Arctic sea cucumbers survive up to a week in -4°C cold storage. The processing plant has to cut the intestines, wash, steam, boil and dry the Arctic sea cucumbers in the cold storage within a week.
