This manual includes the biology of the crab (Scylla serrata, S. tranquebarica, and S. olivacea), and describes principles and procedures for spawning the mature crabs and rearing the zoea to "fly" size crabs. It focuses on the hatchery rearing of S. serrata as the farming of this species is more economically viable than the two other species. This manual builds upon the 2nd edition of Biology and hatchery of mud crabs Scylla spp. published in 2008.
