Market demand for mud crab (Scylla serrata) is increasing so that its catch in nature is high in the long term. The growth of mud crabs (Scylla serrata) occurs through molting (molting) mechanisms. Softshell crab has a higher economic value than hard shell crab. The purpose of this study was to assess the molting rate of mud crab (Scylla serrata) with different salinity treatments in controlled containers. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments of 20 ppt, 25 ppt, and 30 ppt salinity with three replications. The crabs used are mud crabs (Scylla serrata) measuring 80-175 grams with the carapace still hard. The test parameters include the weight gain and absolute length of the individual, daily growth rate, molting percentage, and survival and mortality rates. Besides, the chemical-chemical parameters of the culture media water and the effectiveness of using controlled containers were also observed. The research data were analyzed descriptively quantitatively. The difference in treatment and the use of controlled containers had a significant effect on the 95% significance level (α = 0.05) on all parameters of the response to treatment. Absolute individual weight values 40.6 – 47.41 grams, absolute individual length 2.6 – 3.2 cm, molting percentage 75 – 100%, daily growth rate 1.3 – 1.6 grams, 75 – 100% survival and mortality of mud crab (Scylla serrata) 25-16.7%. Optimal salinity level at 20 ppt. Water quality parameters during the study were still feasible for mangrove crab (Scylla serrata) cultivation. Controlled containers using a water rotation system are quite effective for the cultivation of mud crab (Scylla serrata).

Experiment on the enlargement of individual mud crab Scylla serrata which caught by fisherman in the waters of Wael District still under economy worthy price. The purposes of this study is to see the crab growth rate through one of the crab fi sheries management strategies, there are maintenance and fattening. The weight size of individual mud crab used in this study between 100 gr to 325 gr ind -1 . Male mud crabs was separated from females as a fattening treatment experiment and was placed on the two bamboo cages which each contain of 15 individuals then placed separately. Observation was made along 4 months. The result showed that the growth pattern of male and female mud crabs is still exponential, which male individu reach on average 532.3 gr weight change ind -1 and female with 499 gr ind -1 in 4 months. It concluded that female mud crabs has slower growth rate than males, and the fattening not reached an asymptotic value, which means they still can be fattened again in the cage.

Scylla serrata is one of the species included in the mangrove forest ecosystem which has high economic value for human life. Seeing that mud crabs have high economic potential both domestically and abroad with a fairly high level of demand and abundant availability of catches in nature, concerns arise about the condition of their population. This research aims to determine the population structure of mangrove crabs in the Bagek Kembar Mangrove Forest Area, West Lombok. The method used is purposive sampling. Sampling was carried out at 3 stations representing the entire research location area, namely on the seafront, in the middle and farthest from the arena facing the sea. Each station has its own characteristics. The distance between stations is 50 m. Each station is installed 6 folding trap with a distance between trap 10 m. The length, width, and high size are 50 cm, 30 cm, and 15 cm respectively. This tools are completed by 3 mm mesh size. The results of the research showed that the carapace length of male and female mud crabs that were mostly caught was in the 3 – 4.5 cm and 2.5 – 4.0 cm classes. The carapace width of male and female mud crabs most often caught is in the range of 4.4 – 6.5 cm and 3.5 – 5.5 cm. And the weight of the most commonly caught male and female mud crabs was in the class range of 11.39 – 111.5 grams and 13.77 – 74.5 grams. This research concludes that mangrove crabs that live in the Bagek Kembar Mangrove Forest Area, West Lombok, based on gender, carapace length, carapace width and body weight, are dominated by juveniles. Only a limited number reach catch size.

Abstract. Hastuti YP, Rusmana I, Nirmala K, Affandi R, Tridesianti S. 2019. Identification and characterization of nitrifying bacteria in mud crab (Scylla serrata) recirculation aquaculture system by 16S rRNA sequencing. Biodiversitas 20: 1339-1343. Recirculation is one of the systems used for increasing aquaculture production, for example, is mud crab Scylla serrata culture. Aquaculture activities will produce organic nitrogen waste and can be affected to inorganic condition (nitrification bacteria). Nitrifying bacteria are capable of changing aerobically from NH4+ to NO2-(nitrite) and from NO2-to NO3-(nitrate). This current work aimed to identify and characterize nitrifying bacteria in mud crab (S. serrata) culture with a recirculated system. Nitrifying bacteria were isolated using serial dilution (10-1 until 10-5) of open filter FB water sample previously cultured in a specific medium. Bacterial identification was performed using a procedure of PrestoTM Mini gDNA Kit (Geneid) for DNA extraction and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) primer 63F and 1387R for 16S rRNA gene amplification. Molecular identification using 16S rRNA sequences, the nitrifying bacteria isolated from mud crab recirculation aquaculture system were 99% identified as a group Pantoea calida, Pseudomonas stutzerii dan Halomonas sp. Morphological characterization of the colony morphology showed that a mucoid appearance and appeared cream in color and large size. Furthermore, their cells were recognized as basil and Gram-negative.

The study was conducted to know the crab fattening in pen system and to evaluate the changes of proximate composition of mud crab due to fattening. After fattening, proximate composition was analyzed to assess the changes of nutritional value. The average survival rates of male and female crab were 64.722 ± 1.204% and 65.889 ± 0.701% respectively. The mean specific growth rate (SGR) was 1.245 ± 0.334% (male) and 0.976 ± 0.152% (female). The average value of FCR was 5.833 ± 0.119 and production rate was 0.4116 ± 0.095 kg/m2. Due to fattening, the moisture content of mud crab was decreased from 77.747 ± 0.705 to 75.551 ± 1.537% in male and from 75.030 ± 0.370 to 74.332 ± 0.202% in female. The mean crude protein content of the male mud crab (Scylla serrata) with shell was decreased but in case of female it was increased. The mean crude lipid content of mud crab was increased from 0.420 ± 0.110 % to 1.113 ± 0.102% and 1.093 ± 0.110 to 2.208 ± 0.204% respectively both of male and female. During fattening period the mean ash content was also increased in male and female. In addition the study showed that the mean crude fibre content also increased from 1.162 ± 0.089 to 1.613 ± 0.580% and 1.556 ± 0.367 to 1.884 ± 0.020% respectively in male and female. Furthermore nitrogen free extract content increased from 0.838 ± 0.064 to 0.982 ± 0.238% in male and from 1.251 ± 0.421 to 1.682 ± 0.640% in female. It was observed that all the nutritional compositions were changed due to fattening.

One of the fishery commodities in the mangrove forest area that has the potential to be cultivated in the mangrove crab (Scylla serrata). The local and international market demand for soft shell mud crab from year to year tends to increase. Most of the efforts to meet the needs of softshell crab still rely on catches from nature where availability is uncertain. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of the long molting time of mud crab (Scylla serrata) fed trash feed and feed fed with spinach extract using natural methods and popeye. This research is experimental using a completely randomized design. The treatments consisted of the natural method with trash feed, the natural method with spinach extract feed, the popeye method with trash feed, and the popeye method with spinach extract feed. The crabs used are mud crabs with the hard carapace. The test parameter is the length of time for mud crab molting, which is calculated starting from the hard-shelled crab to molting. The data obtained in the form of differences in the length of time for mud crab molting using various treatments were analyzed descriptively quantitatively. The results of this study indicate that the popeye method with spinach extract feed is the treatment that produces the best molting time, which is 14-21 days compared to other treatments.

Heavy metal accumulation and transfer from sediments to edible mud crab organs (Scylla serrata) pose major ecological and health risks to consumers. The bioaccumulation of these metals are detrimental if they are extremely toxic. The objectives of this study were to analyze heavy metal concentrations in sediments and crab organs and determine the transfer of heavy metals in Scylla serrata from sediments in Mida Creek, Kilifi. The crab samples were collected by simple random sampling whereas sediment samples were collected by purposive sampling. The transfer factor of heavy metals from sediments to the organs of edible mud crabs (Scylla serrata) was evaluated in both the wet and dry seasons. The measurements and examinations of heavy metals, samples of crab organs, and sediments were obtained from three sampled sites. The concentration of metals in the samples was determined using an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer. The results showed that the majority of the components are accumulated by the crabs from sediments. The order in which the metal transfer factor to crabs from station 1 sediments increased was Fe > Zn > Ni > Cu > Cd > Hg. In station 2, the transfer factor increased in the following order: Fe > Zn> Cu>Ni>Cd> Hg, while in station 3, it increased in the following order: Fe > Ni> Zn>Hg>Cd>Cu. The study concluded that mud crabs in Mida Creek actively absorb most of the elements from the sediments. The study recommends a routine monitoring of heavy-metal levels in other crustacean marine biota, and fish is necessary.

Abstract. Karniati R, Sulistiyono N, Amelia R, Slamet B, Bimantara Y, Basyuni M. 2021. Mangrove ecosystem in North Sumatran (Indonesia) forests serves as a suitable habitat for mud crabs (Scylla serrata and S. olivacea). Biodiversitas 22: 1489-1496. Mud crabs (Scylla serrata and Scylla olivacea) are often found in muddy substrates associated with mangrove vegetation. The habitat of these crabs ranges from tropical estuaries to sheltered subtropical areas, riverbanks, lower river traits, and intertidal areas. These crabs have an important economic value, and it increases the income of the communities living around the mangrove area. This study aims to obtain more information on the environmental factors of habitat for mud crabs (S. serrata and S. olivacea): insights on the effects of abiotic and biotic factors and potential economic value, in the village of Lubuk Kertang, Langkat, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were collected by measuring abiotic factors (temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, mud depth, distance from the river) and biotic factors (mangrove stand density through canopy cover). The dataset was analyzed using a binary logistic regression analysis with a stepwise method. Results showed that the abiotic factors that contributed to the presence of the mud crab were dissolved oxygen and a mud depth of 68.7%. Meanwhile, the remaining 31.3% that contributed to the presence of mud crabs were abiotic factors (temperature, pH, salinity, distance from rivers) and biotic factors (stand density through canopy cover). The present study suggests that dissolved oxygen and mud depth have an important function in predicting the presence of mud crabs.

This study aimsed to determine the type of ectoparasites on crab (Scylla serrata) in the water of Alue Naga Banda Aceh.

Whichare predilections in the gills with a prevalence rate of 10%.

Report cards are increasingly popular tools communicating the condition of coastal and riverine environments to environmental managers, stakeholders and the public, and synthesising complex data drawn from a range of indicators. Mud crabs have not previously been included in ecosystem health report cards in Australia or elsewhere but have been suggested as environmental indicators for tropical coastal marine environments in Australia. Mud crabs support commercial, recreational and Indigenous fisheries and their biology is relatively well known. For these reasons and due to their local relevance, mud crabs (Scylla serrata) were selected for long-term monitoring and inclusion in a report card for Gladstone Harbour, Australia. Three mud crab measures were identified to reflect the variety of pressures across Gladstone Harbour: abundance, prevalence of rust lesions and sex ratio. A standardised field monitoring program was developed to allow for ongoing scoring and reporting of the multi-metric indicator. An indicator scoring (distance from benchmark) and grading methodology was applied to the indicator and refined over the two years of monitoring. This article provides a novel framework for monitoring and scoring mud crabs for management purposes or for use in report cards, and outlines the process of developing an indicator for an iconic crustacean species.

The mangrove pens were modified to produce mud crab (Scylla serrata) and milkfish (Chanos chanos) in a polyculture system. The modification of mangrove pens was done by adding excavations inside the pen. The water quality parameters (dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, salinity, and temperature) were monitored, and the recovery and production rates in each pen were evaluated. The experiment was conducted for a rearing period of 143 days in nine mangrove pens, each having an area of 32 m2 and an average net enclosure height of 3 m from the soil surface. The three different pens constructed (existing design: canal only, 43% excavation by area, and 54% excavation by area) were designated as T1, T2, and T3, respectively. The water quality parameters recorded in the pens were favorable for the growth and recovery of the mud crab and milkfish, except for DO. For mud crab, the highest mean recovery was recorded in T2, followed by T3, and the lowest in T1. The production rate followed the same pattern as the recovery, with T2 having the highest, followed by T3, and T1 having the lowest. The statistical analysis revealed that the variations in mud crab recovery were not significant, while in terms of production rate, modified mangrove pens were found to be more effective than the existing design. Due to the total mortality of the cultured milkfish, the current set-up of modified mangrove pens was found to be unsuitable for the polyculture system of milkfish and mud crab production.

Persistent organochlorines and metals in estuarine mud crabs of the Great Barrier Reef

Mangrove crab (Scylla serrata) is a fishery commodity that has high economic value. The supply of mangrove crabs in Indonesia is still dominated by wild catches. One of the places to catch mangrove crabs is in the Mangrove Area of ​​Deah Raya Village, Syiah Kuala District, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Mud crabs are very susceptible to infestation by pathogens in their environment. Pathogens that are often found infesting mud crabs are parasites. Ectoparasite attacks are very dangerous for mud crabs because they can damage the body organs of mud crabs. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the level of intensity and prevalence of ectoparasites in mud crabs (Scylla serrata) caught by fishermen in Deah Raya Village. This research uses a survey method with a purposive sampling method. Ectoparasite examination is carried out using the smear method. This research was conducted at the Hatchery Laboratory of the Faculty of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in May 2024. Thirty crabs (Scylla serrata) were randomly sampled from the mangrove area in ​​Deah Raya Village, Syiah Kuala District, and observed for the presence of ectoparasites. The observations revealed that the crabs were infested by ectoparasites from the protozoa phylum (such as Zoothamnium sp., Epistylis sp., and Vorticella sp.) and from the arthropod phylum (Octolasmis sp.). Infestation by Zoothamnium sp. was found as the most prevalent (n=15, 50%), followed by Epistylis sp. (n=6, 20%), Vorticella sp (n=3, 10%), and Octolasmis sp (n=3, 10%). The infestation intensity for Zoothamnium was 7.5 individuals per crab, Epistylis sp. 5.0 individuals per crab, Vorticella sp. 2 individuals per crab, and Octolasmis sp. 1 individual per crab. Considering the high prevalence and intensity of Zoothamnium sp. in the mangrove crabs, the mitigating efforts can be focused on this ectoparasite.

The development of industry and residential areas around the waters of Banten Bay can increase the input of heavy metal waste and cause accumulation in aquatic biota, especially in mud crab (Scylla serrata). This study aims to determine the level of accumulation of heavy metals (Hg, Cd, Pb, and Cu) contained in mud crab meat in Bojonegara Coastal Waters, Banten Bay. Sampling of the mud crabs was carried out monthly for three months, from August to October 2020 in the waters. The research method consists of the calculation of Bioconcentration Factor (BCF), Maximum Weekly Intake (MWI), and Maximum Tolerable Intake (MTI). According to the analysis, content of heavy metals Hg, Cd, and Pb in mud crab was under the AAS sensitivity value used, which was <0.001 mg/kg, <0.005 mg/kg, <0.030 mg/kg, respectively, while for heavy metal Cu ranged from 4.44 to 13.52 mg/kg. The bioconcentration factor of the heavy metals Hg, Cd, and Pb in the water was classified as low accumulation, while heavy metal Cu in water was classified as medium to high accumulation. The safe limit for consumption of the mud crab meat taken in the waters was 12.94 kg meat/week (adults) and 3.88 kg meat/week (children).
