Abstract The aim of this study to find out the optimal level of salinity for the growth and survival of the mud crab (Scylla serrata). The weight of crab seeds were about 47.65-51.32 grams and the carapace length ranged from 64.35-71.30 mm, then put into 12 tanks (1 m x 1 m x 0.4 m) with a density of 4 crab seed per tank. During the maintenance of this test, mangrove crab was fed with fresh chicken intestines as much as 10% of its body weight per day. Water changes are carried out more than 150% per week. At the beginning of the experiment, each tank was conditioned to the same water salinity in all experimental units, namely 33 ppt. To see the effect of differences in salinity levels on the growth and survival of mud crabs, 4 treatments were made consisting of (A) 33 ppt salt content, (B) 31 ppt salt content, (C). The salt content is 29 ppt, and (D) the salt content is 27 ppt. From the results of this experiment, it is known that a decrease in the salt content of 4 ppt is the best treatment for the growth of mud crabs, but has no effect on the survival value.

Abstract Mud Crab fattening is a relatively new business idea in Kenya and is highly lucrative due to the reasonable prices offered at tourist hotels. This study was aimed at developing appropriate culture techniques for Mud Crabs to maximize harvestable biomass by the local communities and avoid recruitment overfishing. Growth and survival rates for mixed sex Mud Crabs was investigated for a period of 230 days in Mida Creek, Kenya, using bottom and floating cages, and two feed types in a crab fattening experiment. Crabs attained harvestable weight by the third month for both floating (466.2 ± 137 g) and bottom cages (542.2 ± 109.3 g). There was no significant difference in mean total weight of mixed-sex crabs in the two culture systems (t = 1.75, p>0.05), however males showed significantly higher total weight gain compared to females. A higher overall survival rate was found for crabs cultured in floating cages (63.8%), compared to bottom cages (44.9%). There was no significant difference in growth performance between crabs fed gastropod tissues and those fed fish offal. The long-term specific growth rate for floating cages (0.69 g d-1) was not significantly different from that of bottom cages (0.92 g d-1). An analysis of potential return on investment showed the floating cages to be more profitable per production cycle compared to the bottom ones. The floating cage system and mono-sex male crab culture are recommended to farmers within mangrove tidal flats in Kenya.

Infectious of ectoparasites and vibrios were  found as a problem in fattening mud crab. The aims of this study were to determine the clinical sign of infected mud crabs and to identify the ectoparasites and generic vibrio in the fattening mud crabs from Pemalang Coast, Indonesia. Ectoparasites were collected by smear method. Whereas, 20 isolates were collected from hepatopancreas, gills, hemolymph and injured carapace of the mud crabs. Thiosulphate Citrate Bile Salt Sucrose (TCBS) medium was used to isolate suspected vibrios. The clinical signs of mud crabs infected by ectoparasites were shown through the damaged gills and the attachment of other organisms on the gills, whereas the clinical signs of mud crabs infected by vibriosis were shown through red spot on carapace and wound in carapace, claw and abdomen, followed by weak condition. It also indicated that seven ectoparasites were Ichthyobodo sp., Epistylis sp., Carchesium sp., Vorticela sp., Octolasmis sp., Lepeophtherius sp, and Copepodit sp., whilst five Vibrios were V. harveyi, V. Cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, V. alginolyticus and V. fischeri.

Kawasan estuari merupakan wilayah yang kaya akan unsur hara di daerah pantai. Perubahan ekosistem pantai, seperti terjadinya pendangkalan menyebabkan penurunan luasan mangrove. Dampak yang terjadi merupakan penyumbang bagi kerentanan sumberdaya kepiting bakau di daerah tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat resiko potensi kerentanan sumber daya kepiting bakau dan keberlanjutannya di estuari Sungai Mahakam Kalimantan Timur. Analisis kerentanan menggunakan perangkat lunak PSA (Productivity and Susceptibility Analysis). Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa potensi kepiting bakau di Eestuari Mahakam mempunyai kerentanan tingkat rendah (tingkat kerentanan =1,3). Nilai produktivitas (kemampuan pulih sumber daya) menunjukan nilai yang lebih tinggi (2,1) dari pada nilai susceptabilitas (tingkat resiko sumber daya ikan terhadap aktivitas perikanan di perairan tersebut) yaitu 1,9. Dengan kondisi tersebut maka peluang keberlanjutan ketersediaan kepiting bakau di estuari Mahakam berada dalam tingkat sedang.Estuaries constitute an extremely valuable natural resource in the coastal areas. The coastal ecosystem changes such as deforestation of the estuarine caused the decrease of mangrove forestry. These impacts directly contribute to the vulnerability of mud crab resources. The purpose of this research was to determine the risk level of potential vulnerability of mangrove crab resources in the Mahakam estuary. Vulnerability analysis using Productivity and Susceptibility Analysis (PSA) software. The results showed that mangrove crabs in the Mahakam estuary were low vulnerable (vulnerability level of 1.3). Value of productivity (the ability to recover resources) higher than susceptibility (level of risk of fish resources to fisheries activities in those areas). It, means that the chances for sustainability of mangrove crab in Mahakam estuary were medium level.

ABSTRAKKepiting bakau (Scylla serrata) merupakan salah satu potensi komoditas perikanan skala kecil yang memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi. Kelimpahan populasi dipengaruhi oleh upaya penangkapan dan kondisi ekosistem mangrove sebagai habitat utamanya. Produksi kepiting bakau di Teluk Bintan menurun dan penyebabnya belum diketahui dengan pasti. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan kajian tentang biologi kepiting bakau di Teluk Bintan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji status populasi kepiting bakau yang meliputi struktur ukuran, parameter pertumbuhan dan laju mortalitas dan eksploitasi. Pengambilan data kepiting bakau dilakukan dengan pendekatan yaitu fisher-based survey. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ukuran kepiting bakau yang tertangkap mulai dari lebar karapas (CW) 64-172 mm, ukuran fase muda kepiting jantan yang tertangkap mencapai 46,62% dan betina mencapai 48,06%, keduanya hampir setengah dari tangkapan total, ini menunjukkan bahwa alat tangkap yang digunakan belum selektif. CW∞ jantan mencapai 176,93 mm lebih tinggi dari kepiting betina sebesar 169,58 mm, namun sebaliknya nilai koefesien K jantan (0,360) lebih kecil dari betina (0,390), sehingga pertumbuhan kepiting bakau betina lebih cepat dari jantan. Perkiraan angka kematian alami (M) jantan = 0,5566 dan kematian akibat penangkapan (F) jantan = 0,6434 sedangkan M betina = 0,59 dan F betina = 0,41. Laju eksploitasi (E) kepiting jantan mencapai 53,62%, ini dapat dikatakan telah terjadi lebih tangkap atau over eksploitasi. Kata kunci: Scylla serrata, parameter pertumbuhan, struktur ukuran, mangrove and Teluk Bintan ABSTRACTMud crab (Scylla serrata) is one of the potential of small-scale fishery commodities that have high economic value. The abundance of the population is affected by the fishing effort and conditions mangrove ecosystem as its main habitat. Mud crab production in the Gulf of Bintan declined and the cause is not known with certainty. Therefore, it is necessary to study on the biology of mud crab in the Gulf of Bintan. This study aims to assess the status of mangrove crab population that includes the size structure, parameters of growth and the rate of mortality and exploitation. Data retrieval is done with a mangrove crab fisher-based survey. The results showed that the size of mud crab caught from carapace width (CW) 64-172 mm, the size of the young phase male crabs caught females reached 46.62% and reached 48.06%, both are almost half of the total catch, it indicates that fishing gear used is not selective. CW∞ males reach 176.93 mm higher than the female crabs of 169.58 mm, but instead value koefesien K males (0.360) is smaller than females (0.390), so that the growth of female mud crabs faster than males. Estimated natural mortality rates (M) male = 0.5566 and deaths from arrest (F) male = 0.6434 while M females female F = 0.59 and = 0.41. The rate of exploitation (E) male crabs reached 53.62%, can be said to have occurred over fishing or over-exploitation. Keywords: Scylla serrata, growth parameters, structure size, mangrove and bay Bintan

For the first time, a mollicute-like organism (MLO) was cultured from moribund mud crabs (Scylla serrata) during an outbreak of clearwater disease in Zhejiang Province, China. The MLO displayed a fried-egg colony morphology in culture, did not possess a cell wall, and was not retained by 0.45 μm and 0.2 μm filters. It was able to ferment glucose, sucrose, lactose, and maltose, but it did not utilize arginine and urea. The MLO grew in the absence of bovine serum and was not susceptible to digitonin. Sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene revealed that this MLO had 99% identity withAcholeplasma laidlawiiPG-8A, which indicates that the organism isolated from mud crabs is a member of the genusAcholeplasma.

Awareness of Mud Crab over exploitation in Mangkang Wetan Waters has been noticed. One of the reference information is the growth study to determine the condition of the mud crab population. High demand encourages the fisherman to catch more, which leads to overexploitation in nature. The study aimed to estimate the growth, mortality, and exploitation rate of mud crabs. The 921 mud crabs samples were collected from Mangkang Wetan Waters from October 2018 to January 2019. The method used was the survey method. The crabs were taken once a week for 4 months. The width and weight of crab carapace were measured. The growth rate of S. serrata was 0.93/year (male) and 0.69/year (female). The natural mortality rate of S. serrata was 1.08/year (male) and 0.89/year (female), the mortality of catch (F) was 0.55/year (male) and 1.09/year (female). The rate of exploitation of male S. serrata reached 34%, and the rate of exploitation of female S. serrata was 55%. The exploitation of female S. serrata shows that overexploitation has occurred because the optimum value of exploitation (E-OPTIMUM) is equivalent to E=50%.
