Description Aquaculture has been an age old practice in several countries and is said to have begun in China. World
aquaculture production rose from 5.8 million tonnes to 70.5 million tonnes during 2013. In 2012 farmed
crustaceans accounted for 9.7% (6.4 million tonnes) of food fish aquaculture production by volume which
includes 3.91 million tonnes from mariculture (FAO, 2014). Several species of penaeid shrimps, brachyuran
crabs, spiny and scyllarid lobsters are cultivated in several parts of the world and these organisms also support
commercial fishery. Important criteria for the successful cultivation of any organism/species are thorough
knowledge of its morphological characters for accurate identification and their biology.
