“…Crude protein content of muscle averaged between 74.33%-88.35% and together with lower content of crude lipid (3.82%-4.07%) in dry weight basis. These results were similar to those of other reported crab species, which were determined to be 80.60%-88.97%, 2.00%-4.25% of crude protein and crude lipid in dry weight, respectively (Skonberg & Perkins, 2002;Küçükgülmez et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2007;Maulvault et al, 2012). Differences in proximate composition were observed among the sampled populations from three fishing locations.…”

“…In the last decades, the chemical composition and nutritional value of crustaceans have been investigated intensively (Skonberg & Perkins, 2002;Çelik et al, 2004;Naczk et al, 2004;Küçükgülmez et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2007;Barrento et al, 2009a;Barrento et al, 2009b;Barrento et al, 2010;Marques et al, 2010;Tsape et al, 2010;Wu et al, 2010;Maulvault et al, 2012;Risso & Carelli, 2012). The taste and nutritional quality of crab meat is to a large extent related to the presence of amino acids and fatty acids (Chen et al, 2007).…”

Three wild populations of crucifix crab Charybdis feriatus were sampled and muscle was analyzed for proximate composition, amino acid and fatty acid composition, aimed to quantify and compare the nutritional quality from three different locations in China. Results showed that crude protein content in muscle of female crucifix crab C. feriatus from Zhoushan (ZS) and Xiapu (XP) (84.84%-88.35%) were significantly higher than that of crucifix crab C. feriatus from Qionghai (QH) (74.33%), while there was no significant difference in terms of crude fat content (3.82%-4.07%). The highest content of ash was found in muscle of crucifix crab C. feriatus from QH (5.36%). The muscle of crucifix crab C. feriatus from ZS and XP had significantly higher contents of total amino acids, essential amino acids, non-essential amino acids and delicious amino acids than those of QH group (P < 0.05). The total saturated and unsaturated fatty acid content in the muscle of crucifix crab C. feriatus from three wild populations showed significant difference (P < 0.05). The ZS group had highest content of poly-unsaturated fatty acids (33.64%) and total content of EPA and DHA (22.85%) as well, followed by XP and QH group (P < 0.05). Overall, the differences in chemical composition in muscle of C. feriatus from different locations could be attributed to environmental variables and maturation stage.

“…Although mitten crab is considered as an invasive species in Europe and America (Rudnick et al 2003;Paunovic et al 2004), it makes a significant contribution to the aquaculture sector in China (Chen et al 2007). The recent trends (from 1990 to 2012) in production and value of mitten crab culture demonstrate the increasing importance of this species for the aquaculture sector in China (Fig.…”

“…Globally, there are many recorded instances of cultured species and or species groups that are important to some nations and regions but considered as invasive and or pests by others, such as carp species (Billard 1999) and tilapias (Xie et al 2001;De Silva et al 2004). Mitten crab not only has a unique flavour, but is also an excellent source of minerals (particularly zinc, iron, copper and phosphorous), and high-quality protein and fatty acids (Chen et al 2007;Guo et al 2014;Shao et al 2014). For many years, its market price has been rising steadily owing to the imbalance between supply and demand.…”

Sustainable farming practices of the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) around Hongze Lake, lower Yangtze River Basin, China

Results of a survey of 156 Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) grow-out farms around Hongze Lake (118.48-118.72°E; 33.36-33.38°N) are reported. Area farmed has remained relatively unchanged but production (59 932 t in 2012) increased steadily over the last 7 years, indicative of the viability and sustainability of the farming system that has gradually replaced intensive Chinese major carp polyculture around Hongze Lake. Results showed that production range was 135-2400 kg ha -1 cycle -1 (mean 1144 ± 34). Crab yields correlated linearly to stocking density and conformed to a normal distribution curve, with 66.7 % of farms yielding 900 kg ha -1 cycle -1 or more. Yield was negatively correlated to pond size and capture size (p\0.01), and farms with macrophyte coverage rate lower than 30 % of water surface were significantly (p\0.05) lower than those exceeding 30 %.

“…They undergo brachyurization metamorphosis during the early physiological stages characterized by a reduced abdomen, folded beneath the cephalothorax, and inserted between the pereiopods or in a special cavity. This crab produced in the coastal rivers and estuaries of the Yellow Sea is a traditional savory food, and therefore is one of the most important cultivated aquatic species in China [20]. Due to the rapid development of crab farming, the country's crab production reached about 650,000 tons in 2012.…”

In this study, an alpha-tubulin gene (EsTUBA, GenBank: KJ509188) was isolated and identified from the Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis. The EsTUBA mRNA expression patterns under larval brachyurization development and immune challenge stress by Vibrio parahaemolyticus injection in adult crabs were evaluated. EsTUBA cDNA was 1,695 base pairs (bp) with an open-reading frame of 1,356 bp encoding 451 amino acids (49.95 kDa) and containing GTPase domain and C-terminal Tubulin domain. Sequence alignment showed that EsTUBA shared 95-98% identity and exactly similar structural features with its counterparts reported in other animals. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that EsTUBA clustered into one group together with Tubulins from other crustaceans. Sequence alignment, structure comparison and bioinformatic analyses revealed that EsTUBA is member of the Tubulin family. EsTUBA was fluctuant expressed in all tested larval development stages and various organs, and the levels of EsTUBA mRNA expressed in hepatopancreas, gill and intestine, are significantly expression fluctuated and induced after bacteria V. parahaemolyticus injection, while in heart, is almost consistently expressed at 0, 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h post-injection compared to control. The molecular cloning of EsTUBA gene is important for further study on the function of this gene.
