Description Marine crabs are one of the valuable seafood items of great demand both in the
domestic market and the export industry of India. Although there are about 600

to 3 families: Calippidae, Portunidae and Grapsidae. Of these, Portunidae includes
the commercially important marine species such as Portunus sanguinolentus, P.
pelagicus, Charybdis feriatus, C. annulata and C.natator. The country has a good
fishery for marine crabs.
