Reproductive biology is one of the biological aspects that needed to formulate responsible management of blue swimming crab (BSC). The crab is one of the commercial fisheries commodities in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Presently no information on the reproductive biology of this crab from Spermonde Archipelago, Sout Sulawesi. Therefore, the study aimed to analyze and compare gonad maturity stage(GMS)andgonadalsomaticindex(GSI)oftheBSCcaughtonthreeecosystemsnamelycoralreef,seagrass,andmangrovein Salemo Island, Spermonde Archipelago. GMS and GSI were analyzed descriptively for five months from March to July 2015. Results indicate there was a difference in GMS of the BSC caught in mangroves, seagrass, and coral reef. Generally, mangrove was dominated by immature BSC with GMS I and GMS II, while the BSC caught in the seagrass and coral reef BSC were dominantly mature and spawn GMS III, IV, and V. GSI BSC caught in mangrove ecosystem are smaller than GSI BSC caught in seagrass and coral reef ecosystems. Seagrass and coral reef ecosystems suitable for development no-take zone of the BSC.

Management and conservation of the blue swimming crabs by the marine protected area method require the abundance and environmental parameter information of the blue swimming crab. The aim of this study is to analyze the changes in the relative abundance of the blue swimming crab and its environmental parameters. The study was conducted from March to July 2015, in the waters of Salemo Island, Spermonde Archipelago. The specimens were collected at the three fishing locations around the mangrove, seagrass, and coral reef ecosystems. The variable of relative abundance of the blue swimming crab is determined catch per effort. Samples of environmental parameters such as temperature and current speed are measured in situ. However, for the salinity, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, nitrate, plankton, and chlorophyll-a were analyzed in the laboratory. A comparison of the blue swimming crab abundance in each ecosystem was conducted by One Way ANOVA. Moreover, the relationship between blue swimming crab abundance with environmental parameters was analyzed by multiple regression. The results show that the blue swimming crab is abundant in the seagrass and coral reefs. The environmental parameter that significantly influences the abundance of the blue swimming crab is salinity. The suitable area for blue swimming carb protection based on abundances are seagrass and coral reef ecosystems.

The aim of the study was to reveal spatial-temporal distribution of the blue swimming crab(Portunus pelagicus Linnaeus 1758) in terms of size and gonad maturity stage of both male andfemale. Sampling of crab was conducted with a gill net from April 2013 until March 2014 inLasongko Bay. Of the whole population the mean size of male was smaller than that of females.Spatially smaller crabs (juveniles and young ones) inhabited mostly inner side of the bay, whilemedium size crabs occurred in the middle part of the bay. Big crabs were mostly found in theouter side of the bay. In terms of time, big sise of male and female crabs were collected inperiod of October to November and September to March, respectively. Small size of male andfemale occurred in February to September and in April, respectively. Related to gonad maturity,the sizes of both sexes with mature stages were variable. Ovigerous female (OF) was presencewidely in the bay, but the size of ovigerous females living in the shallow part of the bay wassmaller than those living in the deeper part. Keywords: blue swimming crab, size distribution, carapace width, spatial-temporal, gonadmaturity

The blue swimming crab (BSC) fishery in Tiworo Strait has been heavily exploited since two decades ago when its worldwide demand and price was very high. Study on population aspects of this organism in this waters is limited. The aim of present study was to investigate growth patterns, population stock status, and size at first gonad maturity of Portunus pelagicus. One of the main fishing ground of BSC around Tiworo Strait waters is at Bangko and Gala Islands. Samples of BSC were taken monthly using gillnet and collapsible trap. Each sample taken was identified its sex, measured its carapace width, and weighed. Data collected from fishing ground of BSC were analyzed to find out growth patterns, population stock status using spawning potential ratio (SPR) method, and the first gonad maturity (CW50). The results of study showed that growth patterns of BSC male and female following isometric growth patterns (b=0) (P<0.05). It was found out that SPR of BSC from both fishing ground was 22.46% and 23.71%, respectively which indicates that population stock status of BSC in Tiworo strait waters is “moderate level” (SPR > 20%). The size at first gonad maturity (CW50) was attained at carapace width of 9.16 cm for male and 10.16 cm for female. Those imply that BSCs allowed to be caught should be >10 cm.

Rajungan (Portunus pelagicus) merupakan komoditas laut yang memiliki nilai ekonomis yang tinggi, dimana berbanding lurus dengan penangkapan yang terus meningkat. Tingkat pemanfaatan yang tidak mengindahkan ukuran dan kondisi rajungan dapat mempengaruhi struktur ukuran dan stok rajungan di suatu perairan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui distribusi ukuran, hubungan lebar dan berat rajungan serta distribusi tingkat kematangan gonad (TKG) di perairan Betahwalang, Demak. Penelitian menggunakan metode survey dengan analisis yang bersifat deskriptif yang dilakukan secara “time-series”. Pengamatan sampel rajungan sebesar 10% dari hasil tangkapan yang didaratkan oleh setiap nelayan di pengepul rajungan.. Hasil dari penelitian ini menujukkan dari 3030 ekor rajungan yang diamati diketahui distribusi lebar karapas rajungan berkisar antara 35 – 185 mm dan kisaran berat sebesar 10 – 350 gram. Rajungan yang terdapat di perairan Betahwalang memiliki pertumbuhan yang bersifat allometrik positif pada rajungan jantan dan betina pada bulan Januari serta Februari.  Hasil nilai b sebesar 3,29 dan 3,08 (Januari & Februari) pada rajungan jantan. Nilai b sebesar 3,10 dan 3,15  pada rajungan betina (Januari & Februari) serta nilai b sebesar 3,14 pada keseluruhan rajungan. Sehingga diketahui pertumbuhan lebar karapas lebih cepat dibandingkan bobot rajungan. Sedangkan distribusi tingkat kematangan gonad rajungan betina adalah 21% pada TKG 1; 63% pada TKG 2; serta 16% pada TKG 3, dengan ukuran pertama kali matang gonad adalah 141,51 mm. Blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) is a marine commodity has a high economic value , which is causing the crab catch to rise as well. The catch rate that does not consider the size and maturity of sea crab can affect the size structure and population stock of sea crab in waters. This study aims to determine the size distribution,the relationship of width and weight of Blue swimming crab and distribution of gonad maturity in Betahwalang, Demak. There’s a descriptive survey method used in this study with time-series observations. The sample size is about 10% of the total number landed crab from each fisherman. The results of this study showed that from 3030 crabs observed, the distribution of crab carapace width ranged from 35 – 185 mm and the weight range at 10 – 350 gram. The results showed the all crabs has a positive allometric on growth parameters. The value of  b 3,29 and 3,08 (January & February) in male blue swimming crab, 3.10 and 3.15 (January & February) on female sea crabs, and 3.14 on whole sea crabs. So it is known that the growth of carapid width is faster than the weight of crab. While the distribution of female crab gonad maturity level is 21% in level 1; 63% in level 2; and 16% in level 3, with the first size of mature gonad at 141,51 mm.

The level of non-conservation utilization will affect the size and condition of the blue swimming crab in a population, as well as the blue swimming crab stock in a waters. This study is aimed to determine the blue swimming crab conservation study (Portunus pelagicus) based on morphometry and sex ratio brought by fishermen in the waters of Gegunung Wetan Village, Rembang District, Rembang Regency. The method used in this study is descriptive. Observation of blue swimming crab samples was carried out in one of the collectors in the village. Blue swimming crab was observed based on morphometry and sex ratio for 30 days. Informative results can be used as a guide in determining policies regarding sustainable and conservation management of blue swimming crab fisheries. The results of the study revealed that the abundance of male blue swimming crab was 46% (1379 male blue swimming crab) and the abundance of the female blue swimming crab was 56%  (1621 female blue swimming crab) of 3000 blue swimming crab samples. The ratio of male and female  is 1:1.18. Based on the size distribution of the width of the blue swimming crab carapace in the waters of Getanung Wetan it ranges from 72-167 mm and the distribution of weight is 40-303 grams. 13.8% (413 blue swimming crab) sized≤10 cm and 86.2% (2587 blue swimming crab) sized ≥10 cm. The distribution of gonad maturity level in the waters of Gegunung Wetan is 608 female blue swimming crab at TKG 1; 658 female blue swimming crab at TKG 2; and 355 female blue swimming crab at TKG 3. There were 355 female blue swimming crab (22%) of the total female blue swimming crab laying eggs. The data showed that the blue swimming crab growth pattern in Gegunung Wetan waters was negative allometric both male and female blue swimming crab.
