Feasibility of extensive, small-scale mud crab farming (Scylla serrata) in East Africa
Western Indian Ocean Journal of Marine Science, 2015•ajol.info
Small-scale farming of mud crabs (Scylla serrata) has been suggested as an alternative
income for resource poor coastal communities in East Africa. However, it and it is unclear if
the present culture methods are profitable and ecologically sustainable at larger scales.
Here we assess the two dominant culture methods (crab fattening in cages and grow-out
farming in ponds) using economic and ecological analyses in Kenya and Tanzania.

Abstract
Small-scale farming of mud crabs (Scylla serrata) has been suggested as an alternative income for resource poor coastal communities in East Africa. However, it and it is unclear if the present culture methods are profitable and ecologically sustainable at larger scales. Here we assess the two dominant culture methods (crab fattening in cages and grow-out farming in ponds) using economic and ecological analyses in Kenya and Tanzania.
