The crabs range in weight from 250 grams to 580 grams and carapace width from 12.5 cm. to 16.5 cm. The results of the study showed significant difference (P<0.05) in the number of days when spawning occurred. The shortest duration when spawning occurred was at 25 ppt salinity with a mean value of 9.5 days. This was followed by 35 ppt and 15 ppt salinities with mean values of 15.69 days and 19.83 days respectively. Highest number of days when spawning occurred was at 45 ppt salinity at 24 days. All crabs died 2-3 days after spawning.vii, 41 p.Mud crabScylla serrataSpawningSalinityReproductionLG 993.5 1994 B5 B84The effect of different levels of salinity on the spanning of ablated mudcrab Scylla serrataThesisScylla serratacrab culturespawningsalinityaquacultureSDG 2 - Zero hungerSDG 14 - Life below waterSDG 13 - Climate action
