Abstract
Crabs enjoy wide distribution and landed as by-catch along with other resources. In 2020 they accounted 9.4% of crustacean landings in Kerala and have high demand in domestic as well as in export market. Crab culture is not advanced well like shrimp farming, as the seed production and farming procedures are tedious and survival also low. However, mud crab fattening is popular and many are practising it in coastal areas and Kerala Is one of the leading states for live mud crab production. Except mud Crabs all other crabs are exported as different products to various countries.
