Description The marine shellfishes of India is chiefly constituted by crustaceans and
molluscs. Among crustaceans, penaeid prawns are most important in view of the
quantum of landings, value and increasing demand for export trade. These are
followed by crabs and lobsters.
Although there are over 600 species of crabs recorded from Indian waters,
only a few of them are being used for food purposes (Rao et al., 1973). The
commonly utilised crab species for food in this country belongs to three families,
viz., Calippidae, Portunidae and Grapsidae.
