Abstract:

The blue smimmer crab, Portunus pelagicus, is a commerically important portunid species in many Indo-Pacific countries. Due to increasing market demands, there has been growing interest in aquaculture for the speices in this region. Compared to other farmed portunid crab species, P. pelagicus has shorter larval duration and high larval survial rate as well as fast grow rate at early juvenile stages. This presentation will review research coducted in my laboratory to date on development of hatchery and early juvenile culture technqiues for P. pelagicus, which includes broodstock managment, devising optimal larval feeding regiems and identifying suitable physical conditions for larval rearing, as well as aspects of nursery culture of early juvenile crabs. It is hope that this will aid the development of the newly emerging P. pelagicus aquculture industry in the region.
