Electrocondensation method using aluminum electrodes was developed to remove excess amount of fluoride contained in Antarctic krill. Fluoride amount was reduced differently according to fluoride forms (total, ionic and bound) and sections (whole, muscle flesh and chitinous) of the Antarctic krill during electrocondensation process. Total, ionic and bound fluoride could be reduced by 56%, 35% and 60% of the initial amount contained in the whole body, respectively and reduced by 49%, 57% and 34% of the initial amount in the muscle flesh, respectively by electro condensation process for 120 min. In the case of chitinous section of the Antarctic krill, 68% of total fluoride could be decreased by this process for 120 min.
