dc.description.abstract	This manual includes the biology of mud crab, and describes principles and procedures for spawning the mature crabs (Scylla serrata, S. tranquebarica, and S. olivacea) and rearing the zoea to fly size crabs. It focuses on the hatchery rearing of S. serrata as this species is more economically viable than the two other species. The techniques may be modified depending on the conditions or problems encountered in a specific site.	en
dc.description.sponsorship	We thank the Crustacean Hatchery staff Joana Joy dela Cruz, Gaudioso Pates, Joebert Fernando and Ronelio Torrigue for their technical assistance in the refinement of the hatchery techniques, and to Eduard Rodriguez for sharing his expertise on net cage nursery rearing. We are also grateful to Nerissa Salayo, Milagros de la Peña and Ruby Bombeo for sharing their expertise in improving this manual; Jurgenne Primavera, Celia Lavilla-Torres and Evelyn Grace de Jesus-Ayson for comments; Milagros Castaños and Rex Delsar Dianala for the lay-out and preparation of this manual. Three photos on embryonic development were taken at Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Aquaculture (c/o K. Ganesh) in Tamil Nadu, India. Most of the larval rearing results are based on the projects 9217 (Development of Improved Mud Crab Culture Systems in the Philippines and Australia) funded by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research and ICA4-CT-2001-10022 (Culture and Management of Scylla spp.) supported by the European Commission (INCO-DC).	en
