the mangroves of india.
SOME INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT SCYLLA SERRATA
1.There is high interest in the aquaculture of Scylla serrata due to 
the high demand/price for them, high flesh content, and rapid 
growth rates in captivity.
2.   In addition, they have a high tolerance to both nitrate] and 
ammonia which is beneficial because ammonia-N is often the most 
limiting factor on closed aquaculture systems.

pellets; they also consume some small fish pieces and vegetable 
matter. 
4.They are tolerant of most water conditions and are generally a 
very hardy species.
