DEVELOPMENT OF MUD CRAB HATCHING METHODS. Indonesia is one of the mud crab exporters. The demand of mud crab products is high, but these products are still dominated by natural catches. Although there are many cultivation efforts, the seeds are still using the catch from nature, which may lead to an unsustainable business. In order to maintain the existing mud crab cultivation business, it is necessary to undertake mass production of crab seeds in an artificial environment, such as in the hatchery or in the laboratory. The research of mud crab larvae maintenance has been carried out in Indonesia since the last four decades, but the results have not been able to produce crab seeds in a mass scale. Therefore, the efforts of hatching crabs in hatcheries must continue for improvement, with techniques and methods should be developed to support sustainable crab enlargement cultivation. |
