Description The green crab Scylla serrata is commercially the most valuable in India, with great potentialities
for large-scale culture operations. In fact, experiments are being carried out in some southeast
Asian countries for evolving a technique suitable for the pond culture of this burrowing and cannibalistic
species. The present paper gives an account of an experiment undertaken at Veppalodai,
Tuticorin during 1975-77, by rearing in individual plastic cages, for ascertaining their survival, growth
and production with artificial food supplied. The results obtained from this exercise are highly
encouraging with regard to survival, growth, production, etc. The present paper deals with the above
work and the results obtained, along with suggestions for evolving a culture technique for pond culture
of this species
