Crabs of the genus Scylla are strongly associated with mangrove areas throughout the Pacific and Indian oceans and form the basis of substantial fishery and aquaculture operations. Aquaculture production currently relies on wild-caught seed for stocking ponds, as larval rearing at a commercial scale is still difficult. One of the major problems for effective mud crab management and aquaculture is the likelihood that there are a number of genetically distinct species. Research has demonstrated the presence of at least four distinct species. Laboratory experiments of the larval stages of each species should provide valuable information on each species’ biological and ecological requirements. There are two basic forms of land-based mud crab aquaculture: fattening of crabs with a low flesh content, and growout of juveniles to market size.
