[USCC] Composting shellfish residue

[Scott Reil]

Mike, we have had good luck in using EM (Effective Microbes) to knock down
fish smell when applying hydrolysate, so I suspect that would work well for
you...

Michael,  We use shrimp shells in our liquid ferment plant food. We  find 
significant improvement in the plant production when the shells are
included in 
our lactic acid fermentation process.  Normally we ferment fish  offal or 
poultry offal, including mortalities.  If we want to give the  liquid
ferment a 
boost we add shrimp shells to the fermentation recipe.

Does anyone have any  experience with composting shellfish residue?  I am
looking for a way  to reduce the volume and odor of crab and shrimp
shells prior to  drying/grinding them.  I plan on adding them to a
pelletized poultry  litter fertilizer.

Any help would be appreciated.
