Title: INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PORTUNID CRABS AQUACULTURE AND SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES 2016
Venue: Institute of Tropical Aquaculture, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu
Date: 28-29 March 2015 (2 days)
Time: 9.00 am till 5.00 pm
Theme: Development of portunid crabs hatchery seeds production for sustainable aquaculture and fisheries resources
"...Portunid crabs are one of the most commercially important species marked by high market demands due to their delicacy.
Widespread across Indo-Pacific including Southeast Asia, Portunid crabs are among the valuable commodities across many countries,
fetching higher market price compared to other locally consumed marine fish species. Increasing capture of small-sized crabs,
berried females due to high market demand and decreasing recruitment and capture fishery landing have raised concern over
the sustainability of current crab exploitation practices. Thus, the development of portunid crabs aquaculture and resources management
for sustainable fisheries are our prime focus in ensuring the continuity of portunid crabs availability..."
