A project on Improvement of larval rearing hatchery under the program Refinement of Mud Crab Hatchery Technology was implemented to address the issues such as the high investment and cost of production due to additional facilities and labor for natural food production, low survival rate of megalopa stage due to Molt Death Syndrome (MDS) and …
Of the three mangrove crab species in the Philippines, Scylla serrata, or the giant mangrove crab, is capable of growing faster and bigger compared to S. tranquebarica and S. olivacea. There is no obvious morphological marker to distinguish one species from the other. Fishermen are unable to determine the species of crablets captured from the …
Fattening of crabs is an easy-to-learn technology and can be a good means of improving the livelihood of coastal communities because it is profitable and involves lesser risks due to its short duration of culture. Likewise, it can be a business enterprise for small to medium – scale farmers. This has been done in many …
The use of biotechnology specifically focusing on the metabolic pathways and metabolites (biogenic amines and terpenoids) directly involved with molting presents itself as an intuitive approach to further improve the feasibility of soft-shell crab production even at smaller scales through the induction of precocious and synchronized molting of crab stocks. This project aims to establish …

The program titled “Harnessing emerging technologies for mangrove crab culture and resource management: ‘omics approaches, web-based and mobile computing technologies” is composed of the following projects: Project 1. A rapid cost-effective method to screen potential sources of immunostimulants and growth promoting feed additives for Scylla serrata using a functional genomics approach Project 2. Molecular mechanisms …
This program used high throughput DNA sequencing methods to generate novel SNP markers for stock delineation and traceability of natural populations of mangrove crabs. It also harnessed recent advances in genomic marker technology, image analysis, mobile computing and GIS to develop solutions to mangrove crab rearing problems. Innovations in the field of genomics, image analysis, …
