Abstract

High market prices are driving interest in the aquaculture of blue swimmer crabs. Considerable research has shown that the crabs readily spawn in captivity, and larviculture is relatively easy, with high survival rates. During growout, P. pelagicus exhibit high growth rates. Although cannibalism and nutritional challenges have been identified as problem areas, they can be addressed through appropriate management practices.
