(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
The effects of water temperature and autotomy of chelipeds on growth, survival and molting of mud crab, Scylla serrata, juveniles were investigated under laboratory conditions in separate experiments. Hatchery-produced ...
Morphological deformities in mud crab Scylla serrata juveniles exposed to antibiotics during the larval stage
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
