Mud crab farming is very popular in some Asian countries like Bangladesh, India, Thailand, Philippine etc. Mud crab has huge demand and price in international market. Crab is very tasty and many countries of the world import huge amount of crabs for consumption every year. As a result, there are huge possibilities of earning foreign currencies by exporting crabs.
Advantages of Mud Crab Farming
The main benefits of crab farming are, labor cost is very low, production cost is comparatively lower and they grow very fast. Commercial crab farming business is developing the lifestyle of the people of coastal areas. By proper care and management we can earn more from crab farming business than shrimp farming. And small scale crab farming is gaining popularity day by day. Mud crab farming systems in coastal areas are described below.
Types of Mud Crabs
Mud crab can be found on estuaries, backwaters and coastal ares. They are member of Scylla genus. There are two species of crabs available that are suitable for commercial production. Two species of crabs are red claw and green mud crab.
Green Mud Crab
- Green mud crabs are larger in size.
- A green mud crab can grow to a maximum size of 22 centimeter carapace width. And it can weights about 2 kg.
- These are free living and distinguished by the polygonal markings present on all appendages.
Red Claw
- Generally red claws are smaller in size than green mud crab.
- A red claw can grow to a maximum size of 12.7 centimeter carapace width. And it can weights about 1.2 kg.
- It has a burrowing habit and there are no polygonal markings on it.
Both species are suitable for commercial crab farming business. And both have good value and huge demand in the foreign market.
Mud Crab Farming Methods
You can raise mud crabs in two systems. Grow out farming and fattening systems. The systems of farming in this two methods are shortly described below.
Grow Out System
In grow out farming system, young crabs are raised and grown for a certain period of 5 to 6 months till they reach marketing size and weight. This type of crab farming system is generally pond based. The pond size depends on the production type. Generally ponds for crab farming sized between 0.5 to 2 hectors. Proper bunds and tidal water exchange is a must. Small sized ponds are very suitable for crab farming. Because they are easily maintained. Make a suitable fence if the size of pond become small. In larger sized ponds where natural conditions are prevailing, strengthening is necessary along the outlet area.
You can stock wild collected juvenile crabs that weights around 10 to 100 grams. Depending on the size of crabs and available facilities the duration of production may varies between 3 to 6 months. In commercial production with supplementary feeding you can stock 1-3 crabs per square meter. You can feed your crabs low cost fish, shrimps, small sized crabs etc. You can visit your nearest local market and collect rotted fish and innards of birds and animals from slaughter house.
Provide the crabs 5% feed daily of their total body weight. For example, if there are 100 kg crabs in the pond then feed 5 kg food daily. Collect some crabs and try to determine an average weight. Regular sampling is very necessary for monitoring the growth and general health, and to adjust the feeding rate. Keep some pipes in the pond for shelter and the purpose of reducing mutual attacks and cannibalism. Within 3 to 5 months they will reach marketing weight and become suitable for selling.
Fattening System
Raising soft shelled crabs for a certain period until their exoskeleton gets hardened is known as crab fattening system. Hard shelled crabs has four to five times more value in the market than soft shelled crabs. Farming crabs in this system take less time and the process is very profitable. You can do crab fattening business in two systems that are described below.
- Fattening in Pond: Fattening can be done in any types of ponds between 0.025 to 0.2 hector size. Small tidal ponds with a depth of 1 to 1.5 meter is very suitable for crab farming. Prepare the pond perfectly before stocking crabs in the pond. Pond preparation can be done by draining the pond water, sun-drying and adding sufficient quantity of lime. Make a fence around the pond for fattening purpose. Because the crabs have a tendency to escape by making hole and digging the soil. Reinforce the inlet areas with bamboo matting inside the bund. For stocking, collect soft crabs from local fisherman or crab merchants. Collect the crabs in morning. 1-2 per squire meter stocking density is ideal for crab fattening purpose. Divide the pond into different compartments according to the size of crabs if it is big sized. Keeping male and female crabs separated from each other will make good results and reduce mutual attacks and cannibalism. Depending on your location and crabs availability 8 to 12 fattening cycles can be done in a year. Generally, crabs weight between 300 grams to 500 grams have high demand and value in the market. Collect and sell all the crabs when they reach the marketing weight. Always try to sell the crabs when they are in hard shelled condition. This will ensure high profit form crab farming business.
- Fattening in Pens or Cages: Crab fattening can also be done in pens, floating net cages, bamboo cages in shallow estuarine waterways and inside large shrimp ponds with good tidal water influx and in tanks. You can use bamboo splits, netlon or HDPE as netting material. 3 m * 2 m *1 m (3 m long, 2 m wide and 1 m height) is ideal cage size for crab fattening. Arrange the cages in a row so that you can easily feed and monitor the crabs. Stocking density of 10 crabs per squire meter in cage and 5 crabs per squire meter in pens is ideal. Maximum stocking density can result mutual attacks and cannibalism. Fattening in cages or pens in only used in small sale production. For commercial production fattening in ponds is perfect and more profitable.
Between these two crab farming methods, fattening system is more profitable than grow out system and has many advantages. Grow out crab farming system takes more time than fattening system. But fattening system is very popular to the farmer as it take less time and highly profitable.
Water Quality
Water quality plays an important role in the production of crabs. Change water occasionally if possible or apply proper medicines or chemicals. See the following chart.
Feeding
For commercial purpose, crabs need 5-8% food of their body weight. You can feed your crabs low cost trash fish, chicken waste, animal innards collected form slaughter house, brackish water clams etc. Don’t served all the feed at once. Instead give it twice a day. Give major part of the total feeds during evening hours.
Marketing
After a certain period check the crabs for their hardening. In grow out crab farming system they become suitable for marketing purpose within their 3 to 6 months of age. And in fattening system the time depends on crab’s size. However, collect the crabs when they reach proper weight and when their price remain high. Collect the crabs in the early morning hours or evening hours. You can collect crabs from pond by using scoop net or by using alluring bait. Wash the collected crabs with good brackish water and remove all types of dirt and mud. And then carefully tie the crabs very carefully without breaking its legs. Then try to keep those crabs in moist conditions. Keep them away from sunlight. Because direct sunlight has a negative effect on their survival. After that send them to the market.
Commercial crab farming business is gaining popularity day by day in many coastal areas around the world. Because it is a very easy, profitable and takes less time. Mud crabs have huge demand and high value in international market. So, you can earn some extra money and make an employment opportunity by doing commercial crab farming business. Have a good day!

Hi.. I am jeff we have already mud crab farm. And I want to develop and improve it. Do you have anu seminars and trainings in regards with this? Thank you
Hi..sir
I’m Sunil from andhrapradesh,I’m intrest for crab farming, plz give me details
with the ratio of 2/3 per square metre,will there still be a certain % of cannablisation,or will there be all crabs left at harvest. do you no if they throw claws alot & is there loss of stock due to this.
thanx
mick
The density of 2/3 crabs per square meter is perfect and it should minimize cannibalism. Although cannibalism depends on some other factors too. We have not noticed any mentionable loss of stock due to throwing claws. Thank you!
You should also take care to separate females away from males.
Female crab hormone will cause fighting amoung male crabs.
is what I will expect. Not sure if this was experienced in production
ponds.

Hi,
My friend, who is working with our crab fattening project said that crabs produce eggs from March to June that is why it’s too hard to buy crabs for fattening. Is it really true? I am confused. I thought we can grow crabs whole year except if there is a storm..
Please, I need an answer for this. I am not sure if my friend is lying to me since he is the one who handle the project and I am far. There is no income since January this year until now. I hope he is telling the truth to me.
Thank you so much..
Your friend is right! Mud crabs produce and hatch eggs during the warmer months. Although you can grow them throughout the year in commercial farms. Thank you!

I am from India bihar state can I farm mud crab here the climate of bihar is very hot if it’s possible what are the procedure.
Mud crabs grow well in coastal areas. Probably mud crab farming business will not be profitable in your area. Thank you!
Hello RoysFarm!
Thank you for this information!
I posted a question last night but it seems to have disappeared. I now have a better understanding of what I was asking, so I hope I am more clear now!
Is it possible to use the fattening method for longer than 30 days in a floating cage box system?
I am planning to buy mud crabs (S.paramamosain) at weights of 150-200g and fatten (or grow-out? not sure which terminology to use) them to weights of 400g+. Will the mud crabs survive in the floating cage box for periods longer than 3 months, or will they die due to stress? I wasn’t able to find any information on grow-out methods using floating cage boxes.
Thank you for your time,
Roth
A mud crab’s growth is not continuous. It grows through a series of moults (the process of changing shells) after a certain period. So, it’s not advisable to keep the crabs for longer periods in floating cages. You should grow empty crabs for a few weeks and sell them when they are full. You need to apply grow out system if you want larger mud crabs. Hope you understand! Thank you!
Thank you for your response!
1. So are you saying that the mud crabs will be unable to moult properly in the floating cages?
2. When moulting, do the mud crabs require more space or something the cage cannot provide?
3. What issues arise from using the floating cages for the grow out system?
4. What is the maximum duration that I can contain the mud crabs in floating cages?
From my understanding, I can see the discarded exoskeleton taking up space in the cage being an issue, so can I not simply remove it? Yes, I do now understand the purpose of fattening system for empty crabs. My brother and I want to attempt the grow out system using floating cages as we feel that it will be easier to monitor and harvest, prevents cannibalism, and encourages uniform growth among all crabs as they will all be fed adequately.
We have 5 hectares of land available for crab farming and will be using 2 hectares for the experimental stages. I am trying to understand why there’s no discussion of grow out system using floating cages…
The two assumptions that I can draw are:
1. The mud crabs simply cannot survive/grow for long periods of time in floating cages.
2. In order for the floating cage grow out system to be profitable, it requires a lot of land/space.
Sorry for all these questions, I am really interested in mud crab farming! 🙂
Thank you,
Roth
1. No. We are not saying that the mud crabs will be unable to moult, but we want to say that they will face difficulties for moulting in the floating cages.
2. Mud crabs need safer place while moulting. They can die inside the cage due to stress.
3. There are many issues of using floating cages for the grow out system. Using cages for fattening purpose is good.
4. Not more than 45 days will be perfect.
Please let us know about your mud crab farming experience. Thank you!
Thank you for your response.
I understand clearly that cages are good for the fattening method. I won’t be able to start until next year so we will have to wait haha :). I do have a question for you though.
What are the issues of using floating cages for the grow out system?
Other than:
-Require a specific size crab
-Stress
-Crab may feel unsafe and not moult
Thank you,
Roth

Your area is suitable for mud crab farming, as you have good pond and salt water source. But your pond is too small for growing crabs in cages. You should use grow out system. You can follow the feeding system we have mentioned above. It will be better if you can contact any mud crab farmer within your area and learn from him/her practically. Unfortunately, we don’t know any mud crab supplier in your area. Thank you!

We are starting a subsidiary company to catch wild mud crabs from a very large uninhibited mangrove areas in Western Sabah, Malaysia.
Production is estimated to be approx 500-1500 kilos per day of adult crabs…i.e >400g….under-size crabs <400g will be reared to adult in land based ponds.
If anyone is interested in long term supply of mud crabs (live & frozen) this will be a good time to establish a relationship with our company since we are just starting out.

Dear Sir,
My name is Ivan and I’m from the Philippines. I am honestly very young aged 24 years old but I am intensely serious as to getting into the mud crab business. I was wondering if you could help me out in the most possible way you can, at least by providing some information as to market prices, etc.
Hoping to hear from you, Sir.
Thanks!
Ivan
Mud crab farming is such a business where you must have to have practical knowledge. So, it will be better if you can learn practically from any existing farmer in your area. Hope you understand. Thank you!
Thank you!
Hi Ivan,
If you’re really interested you may Google and contact SEAFDEC in Iloilo. There will be a training on mud crabs this October you might want to join.
Hi Ms. Ivy!
As much as I’d like to attend, unfortunately I am here in Dubai working as an OFW. I just want to collect and earn as much funds I need for starting the business. However last year, I was in Samar to study the market and culture of Mud crabs but wasn’t very successful, since not many people understood tagalog.
I have found some ebooks though. Hope I can get some actual facts with everybody’s help.
God bless and thank you!
Usually there are 2 schedules per year or you may request for schedule you want. But I guarantee you will learn a lot from the best scientists and only training school in southeast asia is within your own yard. Good luck to you!

Please do let us know about possibility of crab farming in Bihar,India. This is sweet watery area and some time suffering from flood disaster too.
From where I can have baby or juvenile crab for farming?
Mud crabs can’t survive in freshwater for long time. So you can’t grow them in your freshwater pond. You should consider other type of freshwater fish species. Thank you!
I am from kolkata would like to start commercial Mud crab farming near kakdwip area. But cofused about grow out culture or fattening what to do, as we have to depened on natural sources in case of fattening.
In grow out system, you can raise small/baby crabs from their very early life stage to marketing size. In fattening system, you can purchase pretty big crabs which are about to reach the marketing size or underweight and raise them for some specific time until they reach proper marketing size. Hope it’s all now clear to you. Thank you!
