Community-based technology transfer in rural aquaculture: The case of mudcrab Scylla serrata nursery in ponds in northern Samar, central Philippines
(Springer Verlag, 2014)
Finding aquaculture development approaches to open up livelihood opportunities for the rural poor and in mainstreaming smallholder fish farmers to reduce poverty remain a challenge. This paper examines the community-based ...
Female-specific SNP markers provide insights into a WZ/ZZ sex determination system for mud crabs Scylla paramamosain, S. tranquebarica and S. serrata with a rapid method for genetic sex identification
(BMC, 2018-12)
Mud crabs, Scylla spp., are commercially important large-size marine crustaceans in the Indo-West Pacific region. As females have the higher growth rate and economic value, the production of all female stocks is extremely ...
Morphological deformities in mud crab Scylla serrata juveniles exposed to antibiotics during the larval stage
(Wiley, 2017)
The effects of antibiotics on the external deformities, growth and survival of mud crab Scylla serrata larvae and juveniles were determined. Zoeae were exposed to oxytetracycline (OTC) (0, 3.0, 6.0, 9.0, 12 mg L<sup>-1</sup>) ...
Larval rearing of mud crab (Scylla): What lies ahead
(Elsevier, 2018)
The increasing global demand for mud crabs (genus Scylla) and threats to the wild populations highlight the urgency of fully rearing them in captivity. Despite considerable progress in mud crab production, most crab farms ...
Physiological and avoidance responses of juvenile mud crab Scylla serrata to mercury
(Bioflux, 2014)
The physiological and avoidance responses of juvenile mud crab Scylla serrata to mercury was evaluated by determining mortality using a renewal-type acute toxicity test and assessing crabs’ ability to avoid toxic concentrations. ...
Quality assessment of newly hatched mud crab, Scylla serrata, larvae
(Wiley, 2018)
Starvation and exposure to formalin were investigated as possible stress tests for evaluating the quality of mud crab, Scylla serrata, larvae. For the starvation stress test, newly hatched zoeae stocked in 150-ml containers ...
Domestication of the mud crab Scylla serrata
(Springer Verlag, 2011)
The significant decrease in wild mud crab population highlights the need to manage the resources and domesticate crabs. This paper presents the initial results of the domestication of mud crab Scylla serrata aimed at ...
Effects of dietary l-tryptophan on the agonistic behavior, growth and survival of juvenile mud crab Scylla serrata
(Elsevier, 2010)
The reduction of the survival of mud crab during culture has been largely attributed to aggressive encounters and cannibalism. In some crustaceans, suppressed aggression is linked to increased concentration of circulating ...
Survival and growth of mud crab, Scylla serrata, juveniles subjected to removal or trimming of chelipeds
(Elsevier, 2011)
The effects of removing or trimming the chelipeds at various molt stages on regeneration, molt interval (MI) and specific growth rate (SGR) were determined in mud crab Scylla serrata. These strategies in combination with ...
Phenotypic differences between hatchery-reared and wild mud crabs, Scylla Serrata, and the effects of conditioning
(Springer Verlag, 2011)
Hatchery-reared animals for stock enhancement should be competent to survive and grow at rates equivalent to those of wild conspecifics. However, morphological differences are often observed, and pre-conditioning steps may ...
