Growth of Mud Crab (Scylla tranquebarica Fabricus, 1798) in the Estuary of West Segara Anakan, Cilacap, Indonesia
Keywords:
Carapace width and body weight relationship, condition factor, growth parameters, Scylla tranquebarica, West Segara Anakan.Abstract
Mud crab (Scylla tranquebarica) is one of the important fisheries comodity in West Segara Anakan. However, the information concerning on its biological population is still limited. This study aims to analyze the growth of mud crab including the size distribution, carapace width-weight relationship, condition factors, and growth parameters. The study was conducted from June 2016 to May 2017 in the estuary of West Segara Anakan. The total of 271 samples were collected during this study to observe the growth of mud crab. The result shows that the carapace width distribution frequencies of male and female mud crab were considered to be normal distribution with a majority of catch were on sub-adult life stage (70-120 mm width). Linear regression showed that male mud crab has isometric growth pattern, while the female one has a negative allometric growth pattern (P<0.05). Mud crab has a maximum condition factor value in November for male, and in December for female. Based on Electronic Length Frequency Analysis (ELEFAN I), asymptotic carapace width (CW?) value were 190.05 mm for male, and 163.00 for female. Growth coefficients (K) for male and female were 0.29 and 0.39, respectively.
