“…It has high potential for aquaculture because of its rapid growth rate (Josileen and Menon, 2004), ease of larviculture, high fecundity, and relatively high tolerance to nitrate and ammonia (Bryars and Havenhand, 2006;Zeng, 2007a,b,c, 2008). P. pelagicus is commercially cultivated in some areas, such as Thailand .…”

ABSTRACT. This study determined the mitochondrial genome structure of the blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus), and elucidated its phylogenetic relationships among the species within the order Decapoda. The complete mitochondrial genome was 16,155 bp long, and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 DNA control region. The gene order of the genome was the same as that found within the family Portunidae. Twenty-three genes were on the heavy strand and 14 were on the light strand. Almost all of the protein-coding genes were initiated by an ATG codon, except for three genes (ATP6, ND1, and ND3) that started with a rare ATT codon. Of the 13 protein-coding genes, 10 ended with complete TAA or TAG stop codons and three ended with an incomplete T codon. Thirteen non-coding regions were identified that ranged from 1 to 30 bp in length. Nine overlaps were found, which ranged from 1 to 7 bp in length. Phylogenetic analyses based on 12 concatenated protein-coding genes revealed that P. pelagicus formed a monophyletic group with Portunus trituberculatus, which were in a larger group with Callinectes sapidus, while the genera Charybdis and Thalamita formed another group. These two groups clustered together and grouped with the genus Scylla. The phylogenetic analysis supported the inclusion of Charybdis in subfamily Portuninae of the family Portunidae, and revealed a close relationship between Charybdis and Thalamita. We suggest that Thalamita should also be classified into the subfamily Portuninae. The results can be used in the study of phylogenetic, population genetic and conservation genetics of P. pelagicus.

“…Moreover, in recent years shrimp culture has encountered heavy losses due to disease outbreaks in Asia, which warrants the need to diversify culture operations in order to utilize the farm and to include other biologically suitable and economically viable crustaceans in the production process. The authors have studied the complete larval development of the species in an elaborative way (Josileen & Menon, 2004) and mass seed production technology has also been developed (Josileen, 2001). The present study provides information on the suitability of the blue swimmer crab for mariculture.…”

The growth of hatchery produced Portunus pelagicus crabs was monitored under laboratory conditions by recording growth at each moult from the 1 st crab instar onwards. Male and female crabs attained sexual maturity by their 12 th and 14 th moult, respectively. The experiment lasted for 455 days when the last crab died. This paper describes the growth of male and female crabs in each moulting stage, with details of their carapace width and length, chelar length and height, abdominal width and length, and total weight. Moulting frequency, secondary sexual characteristics, and moult increments were also monitored.

“…Other study of Ikhwanuddin et al, (2012 b ) in which larvae were reared at various density from 50-300 larvae per litre, they found the larvae reached megalopa phase on day-13. Josileen and Menon (2004) also reported that crab-1 stage of blue crab was attined on day-15-17. These all founding indicated that domesticated broodstock-raised larvae developed faster compared to the wild broodstock-raised larvae.…”

Dody Dharmawan Trijuno, Yushinta Fujaya, Agviranti, and Syamsurya Marhama. 2015. Quality of Blue swimming crab Portunus pelagicus Larvae from Domesticated Broodstock. Aquacultura Indonesiana, 16 (1): 22-28. Blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) is the important world fishery resource, but the crab larval rearing faces high mortality problem. The aim of the research was to compare survival and growth rate of larvae resulted from wild and domesticated broodstock blue swimming crab. Domesticated and wild broodstock were used to produce larvae. Domesticated broodstock was selected from repeated reared crab until third generation. Selection of the broodstock mainly based on the survival and growth rate. The wild broodstock was collected from Makassar Strait Sea. Larvae from the two sources of broodstock were reared in the conical tanks with density of 50 zoeas per liter. After reaching megalopa phase, then, the larvae were transferred into concrete tank completed with shelter and it were reared until crab phase. Crab phase was reared for 18 d, then these seed were released into the brackishwater pond for further domestication step. Larva from zoea to crab were fed with rotifer, artemia, fresh small shrimp and diet. The result showed that domesticated broodstock produced higher survival rate (P<0.05) larvae, faster larval stage changes (P<0.01) and uniform larval growth compared to the larvae from wild broodstock. It is clearly shown, the use of domesticated broodstock of blue swimming crab produced better larva quality and quantity than the wild broodstoock crab.
