Biology and hatchery of mud crabs Scylla spp.
Share
Abstract
This manual describes the principles and procedures for spawning the mature crabs (Scylla serrata, S. tranquebarica, and S. olivacea) and rearing the zoeae to juveniles. Hatchery conditions should satisfy the ecological requirements of each specific stage, thus the manual starts with a section on biology of mud crabs.
