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.

It’s confusing to hear king crabs in the Philippines. King crabs I know is from Alaska, very
expensive about $12 a pound. Legs are about the size of a man’s arm, lately much smaller.
A few years back my wife and I tagged along with a friend an Aquaculture graduate from FIT
(Florida Inst. of Technology)to Tiamen University in formerly Amoy, China. I just heard from them (professors) A single Alimango, caged for 3 months fed well, will lay 3 million eggs. The
mother crab was removed immediately as she will devour her own eggs. The eggs are kept
in flowing water at 29 deg C, oxygenated, at salinity of also 29 PPT, will hatch in 3 days. The
larvae are almost microscopic and are voracious eaters of zooplanktons and rotifers. After 5
moults the babies will look like tiny crabs, about the size of mungo. The yield is “ONLY” about
5-10% From 3M

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. If interested, contact us at 09178688174 or at attyyamicpa@yahoo.com. COD buyers only please. Thank you.
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. Our crablets are 99.9% king crabs (scyla serrata) with more or less .01% pulahan (scyla olivacea). We are interested in supplying 50,000 crab seeds per trip and we can make at least one trip per week depending upon the weather. Before we ship, we will send samples to be brought by an emissary who will also discuss details. If interested, contact us at 09178688174 or at attyyamicpa@yahoo.com. COD buyers only please. Thank you.
