STUDIES ON CRABS (BRACHYURA): A REVIEW

Abstract

In this article a number of published papers on crabs both freshwater and marine water crabs are reviewed, we realized that probably there is not a single review paper available on such studies. So we made an effort in order to present a review paper on the crab studies. We observed that different types of works have been done on crabs (both freshwater and marine crabs). The works can be classified into at least four major sets i.e. 1] Anatomy and Body parts, 2] Effect of parameters on Growth [ Environmental Factor, Water quality, Pesticides, Chemicals, Metal Salts etc], 3] Compositional and Nutritional Analysis, 4] Applications [Medicinal Applications, Others Applications]
