Research that works for developing countries and AustraliaMud Crab Aquaculture and BiologyPublication Date: 1999Publication Code: PR078ISBN: 1 86320 486 5SummaryUntil recently, mud crabs have only been reared from stock captured from the natural environment, in those countries where they are being farmed. Now, as reported in these Proceedings, larval production of mud crabs can be reliably achieved, the rapid growth of mud crabs identified and their taxonomy clarified. The commercial implications of this successful research are enormous, as are the implications for preserving the natural resources of the world's fisheries. |
