tlooto Summary

This study investigates genetic diversity of blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) from a crab bank project and wild crabs in Trang and Krabi Province, Thailand using mtDNA control region sequences.

Abstract

The blue swimming crab ( Portunus pelagicus ) is an economically important crustacean with increasing consumption demands, while wild stock is declining. Therefore, a crab bank project has been initiated to restore crab resources. The crab bank, which has been operating for at least 10 years, collects berried females, hatches their eggs to the zoea stage
