A premium, meaty crab with genuine presence on the plate — well suited to hotels, restaurants and professional kitchens.

Culture methods
Developing mud crab aquaculture.
Mud crab aquaculture uses controlled culture methods that support individual monitoring and careful handling throughout the farming cycle.
01 / 04
-
Culture environment
Box culture systems float on managed water, keeping each unit accessible and allowing conditions to be observed across the whole system.
-
Controlled box system
Individual boxes are numbered and grouped in rafts. Housing crabs separately avoids competition and injury, and makes each animal traceable through the cycle.
-
Crab development
Each crab grows in its own perforated unit, with continuous water exchange and space to develop condition and meat quality.
-
Inspection & care
Regular handling and visual checks guide feeding and grading decisions, and identify when an animal is ready.
