Studies on mudcrab, Scylla species, at AQD started in 1977. Researchers AF Lavina and AS Billing were successful in their first attempts at hatching mudcrab with rates varying between 75 - 90%. Two out of three trials on larval rearing yielded a few megalopa. The larvae survived salinity levels as low as 15 ppt until the 14th day of rearing. Other larvae were able to survive in salinities of 30-32 ppt for 8-13 days. Zoea molting was hastened by lowering the salinity to 25-27 ppt. Artificial broodstock of juveniles and adult crabs has been made possible by using a simple refuge system made of compartmented hollow blocks. This system minimized fighting among crabs.
