Abstract

Mud crabs (Scylla serrata) are one of the coastal fisheries commodities, especially in mangrove forests. This study was proposed to determine mangrove ecosystems service to produce molting of mud crab (S. serrata). This research on mangrove crab molting using a completely randomized design with four levels of treatment, namely ablation, autotomy, ablation + autotomy and control with three replications. The highest growth rate was ablation (molting percentage 80.95%, and 100% survival, growth 12.51%/day) and lowest ablation + autotomy (growth 4.95%/day, molting percentage 19.05%, growth 4.95% of the day). The differences in molting stimulation affect the percentage of molting.
