Brachyuran crabs are one of the most traded seafood
commodities across the world. Many species of
crabs support important commercial fisheries in
many fishing countries. Although crabs are high
valued seafood, only few of them are farmed, for
example, Eriocheir sinensis, species of genus Scylla
and Portunus pelagicus. This chapter aims to provide
short descriptions on various diseases affecting crabs
along with possible treatment and control. For the
completion of the topic, crab species, which are
not farmed are also included in the review. Diseases
of crabs may be caused by pathogens like bacteria,
viruses, parasites and fungi. The combination of
pathogens is also result in the occurrence of few
diseases. Further, it becomes complex to understand
the cause of the disease either nutritional,
environmental and/or management deficiencies.
Hence, this chapter is aimed at providing short
description on various diseases affecting crabs, along
with possible treatment and/or control measures.
