INDUCED MATING AND REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCES OF ORANGE MUD CRAB, Scylla olivacea (HERBST, 1796) IN CAPTIVITY
Mud crab aquaculture is gaining attention in tropical and sub-tropical regions for its high commercial value. Mating is the fundamental requirement for the natural seed production of mud crabs. This study aimed to develop a technique of induced mating, subsequently offspring production of female ora...
