Why is it important?
The growth of S. olivacea was assessed through various methods in such a way that the outcome of one method functions as a rider, check and control over the other.
Perspectives
The present study assumes greater significance in view of the fact that no attempt has so far been carried out to explain CWRs and age and growth of S. olivacea from Indian waters. The outcome of the study will stand as a steady reference for future works aiming at determining the growth, according to sex, spawning season, estimating the population size of stock for exploitation purposes and implementation of responsible fishing for sustainable utilization of mud crabs.
