Crab farming, also known as crab aquaculture, involves the cultivation of crabs in controlled environments for commercial purposes. This practice typically focuses on species like the blue crab or king crab, which are popular in seafood markets. Farmers create optimal conditions for growth, including water quality, temperature, and food supply, to ensure healthy crab populations. The process begins with the collection of crab larvae or juveniles, which are then raised in tanks or coastal ponds. Farmers monitor their growth and health, eventually harvesting the crabs for sale. Crab farming helps meet the demand for seafood while reducing pressure on wild crab populations.
