Supply chain management strategies will help the prawn and crab growers mitigate adapt to impact of various disruptions such as typhoons, water-borne diseases, climate change. The study was conducted determine production basis for supply growers. employed a descriptive research design using quantitative data. used secondary data performance disaster history. A content analysis in processing res...

An experiment was conducted for a period of eight weeks under laboratory conditions to determine the effect of different salinity levels on the survival and growth of crablings of mud crab, Scylla serrata. The different salinity levels tested were: 5 ppt, 10 ppt, 15 ppt, 20 ppt and 25 ppt. The differences in growth increment in terms of body weight (BW) were significant (p<0.05) among different...

BACKGROUND Mud crab Scylla paramamosain is an economically important marine species in China. However, frequent outbreaks of infectious diseases caused by marine bacteria, such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus, result in great economic losses. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Comparative de novo transcriptome analysis of S. paramamosain infected with V. parahaemolyticus was carried out to investigate...

The importance of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) gene family is demonstrated by many studies in vertebrates and invertebrates in recent years. However, it keeps unknown of nitric oxide (NO) system and NOS gene family in mud crab Scylla paramamosain, an important cultured commercial crustacean in China and Pacific area. In this report, the cDNA of NOS containing full-length ORF was cloned from ...

Identifying and quantifying the relevant properties of habitat structure that mediate predator-prey interactions remains a persistent challenge. Most previous studies investigate effects of structural density on trophic interactions and typically quantify refuge quality using one or two-dimensional metrics. Few consider spatial arrangement of components (i.e., orientation and shape) and often n...

The giant mud crab Scylla serrata provides an important source of income and food to coastal communities in East Africa. However, increasing demand and exploitation due to the growing coastal population, export trade, and tourism industry are threatening the sustainability of the wild stock of this species. Because effective management requires a clear understanding of the connectivity among po...

Crabs, such as swimming crabs and mud crabs, are famous for their high nutritional value but difficult to preserve. Thus, the traceability of is vital food safety. Existing deep-learning methods can be applied identify individual crabs. However, there no previous study that used abdomen images In this paper, we provide a novel Part-based Deep Learning Network (PDN) reliably an crab from its cap...

Male and female Uca tangeri (the only Ž ddler crab species to inhabit Europe) construct mudballs from mud excavated from within their burrows. Individual males placed similar patterns of mudballs each low tide, suggesting that there is some degree of stereotypy. When mudballs were experimentally moved further from the burrow or closer to it, males only repositioned those that were moved closer,...

Maritrema spp. (Digenea: Microphallidae) are parasites of birds, but have not been found in the Republic of Korea. In this study, metacercariae of Maritrema sp. were discovered in the Asian shore crab, Hemigrapsus sanguineus, caught in the mud-flats of Jebu-do, Hwasung-gun, Gyeonggi-do, and the adult flukes were confirmed by experimental infection into mice. Based on the symmetric ribbon-like v...
