Mud crab pen culture: replacement of fish feed requirement and impacts on mangrove community structure
(Blackwell Publishing, 2010)
Brackishwater pond culture has been a major factor in mangrove loss in Southeast Asia, hence, the need to develop environment-friendly technologies such as mud crab Scylla (Portunidae) culture in mangrove pens exists. This ...
Formalin as an alternative to trifluralin as prophylaxis against fungal infection in mud crab Scylla serrata (Forsskål) larvae
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007)
The toxicity of formalin and trifluralin to the larval stages of the mud crab Scylla serrata was compared in a static bioassay. Prophylactic doses of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 μg L<sup>−1</sup> formalin and 0.05, 0.1, ...
Acute toxicity of nitrite to mud crab Scylla serrata (Forsskål) larvae
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007)
Early larval stages of mud crab Scylla serrata were exposed to different concentrations of nitrite (40, 80 and 160 mg L<sup>−1</sup> and a control, without added nitrite) and three salinity levels (25, 30 and 35 g ...
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 ...
Ovarian maturation stages of the mud crab Scylla serrata
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007)
Ovarian maturation in adult wild-sourced and pond-grown Scylla serrata (Forsskål) was determined based on gross morphology and histological appearance. There were no significant differences noted in the histological features ...
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 ...
Lipids and fatty acids in wild and pond-reared mud crab Scylla serrata (Forsskål) during ovarian maturation and spawning
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2007)
Wild-caught and pond-reared female mud crab Scylla serrata at different stages of ovarian maturation were collected from Samar and Capiz, Philippines. Crabs were categorized into five stages according to the external ...
Extension of nursery culture of Scylla serrata (Forsskål) juveniles in net cages and ponds
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007)
To address the preference of mud crab farmers for larger size Scylla serrata juveniles (5.0–10 g body weight or BW; 3.0–5.0 cm internal carapace width or ICW), a study was conducted to compare the growth and survival of ...
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 ...
