Mud Crab Culture and Production Business Guide
October 12, 2009 by Leo 1,918 Views
Mud crab fattening is a relatively new practice in the Philippines. The technology has been pioneered by the private sector, primarily to meet the demands of the domestic and foreign markets by culturing marketable crab in a short span of time. Mud crab fattening pertains to culturing mud crab from 15 days to 1 month so that they put on additional weight after moulting. Ovigorous females are highly prized for their bright red roe.
Fattening has also been resorted to by Filipino exporters to avoid confiscation of underweight mud crab, export of mud crab weighing less than 200 g being prohibited. However, due to limited baseline research studies in mud crab culture and fattening, practices vary widely in different parts of the country.

em having difficulties in reaching the proper weight and body parts of my king crabs.. help me po…
maybe your crab seeds were not real king crabs but the scylla olivacea or pulahan specie. It is also a mudcrab or alimango but it does not grow big. If it is pulahan, don’t bother waiting for it to get bigger because it won’t. In which case, you should get crab seeds from known suppliers of pure king crabs. Samar and Catanduanes are good sources because their crab seeds are almost purely king crabs.
We also have TX, SS, Medium and Big and we now ship anywhere: in Luzon (by land or air) and in VisMin (by air). We can supply any volume of crab seeds. For small volume, transactions are by email, phone and wire transfer. For large volumes, we can send a representative to bring samples and discuss details.

Gud day, we are a supplier of langaw langaw crablets (scyla serrata) from bicol. We can ship anywhere in Luzon. Our crablets are wild caught and are very robust.
