“…However, the quantities of these constituents may vary considerably within and between the species, size, sex, sexual condition, feeding season, molting stage, processing method etc., [18][19][20]. Most of the p values were higher than 0.05, indicating that the effect of different diets on proximate composition of the meat of C. armatum was limited, which was in accordance with the results from [21]. It is also generally similar to other crab species, such as the mud crab, Scylla serrata [22]; the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus [23]; the blue swimmer crab, Protunus pelagicus [24]; and the Chinese mitten crab, E. sinensis [5].…”

Meat quality in terms of its nutritional value, is a major factor when considering dietary items. This study highlighted the proximate and mineral compositions in the meat of Land Crab, Cardiosoma armatum (Herklots, 1851) fed with Trash Fish (Natural feed) and formulated diet for three (3) months. The meat proximate composition of both crabs fed the two different diets was similar, and there was no significant difference in the crude protein, fat and fiber contents of the meat (p > 0.05). The diets had no significant effects on magnesium, sodium, potassium and phosphorus contents of the meat. Crabs fed formulated diet had significantly higher calcium content of 20428.52±0.10 mg/100 g, compared with the crabs fed with Trash Fish of 18541.83±0.10 mg/100 g (p < 0.05). The pattern of mineral contents in both crabs was calcium > phosphorus > magnesium > sodium > potassium. This study suggested no negative effects of formulated diet on the meat quality. Therefore, formulated diet could be used for fattening of Land Crabs.
