Summary: Indonesia is the world's second largest fish producer and exports a significant amount of blue swimming crab (BSC) products, mainly in cans. A life cycle assessment (LCA) found that the processing stage, particularly the use of tin cans for packaging, had the highest environmental impact for canned BSC products. BSC caught with traps had a threefold greater global warming impact per unit than those caught using nets. The study also concluded that BSC meat produced in Java is more environmentally preferable than that from Sumatra.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of environmental variables on commercial CPUE of blue swimmer crab in five Western Australian fisheries, finding that water temperature had a significant positive effect on CPUE universally. Wind speed and tide height also showed significant positive effects in three out of five fisheries. However, lunar illumination and freshwater flow had a smaller, negative impact on CPUE in only a few fisheries. Standardizing CPUE for these environmental effects highlighted clear variations from raw CPUE, emphasizing the importance of accounting for environmental factors in fishery assessments.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity and differentiation of the blue swimming crab across Indonesian populations in different Fishery Management Areas and their spatial genetic connectivity. Results showed that the eastern part of Indonesia has the highest values for haplotype and nucleotide diversity, with significant genetic differentiation between populations and management areas, and low spatial connectivity. This suggests the presence of multiple stock units for blue swimming crabs in Indonesia, which would require different management plans across the region for sustainable conservation.

Summary: A study found that blue swimming crabs from the Bali Strait had the lowest concentrations of copper, zinc, chromium, lead, cadmium, and mercury compared to those from the Java Sea and the Madura Strait. The levels of these metals in the crabs were below the maximum allowable limits, except for chromium in the crabs from the Java Sea and the Madura Strait. The study suggests that consuming blue swimming crabs from these locations may pose health risks and increase the chances of developing cancer.

Summary: Understanding the causes of subfertility and assessing sperm quality are crucial for improving productivity and accelerating selective breeding in decapod crustaceans. Traditional methods of sperm quality assessment can be replaced with widely used diagnostic biomarkers from humans and mammals, along with sperm cryopreservation and artificial fertilisation techniques. These tools allow for long-term storage, controlled timing, and selection of individuals for reproduction, ultimately enhancing commercial broodstock management in the crustacean aquaculture industry.

Summary: The tropical spiny lobster, Panulirus ornatus, undergoes complex moulting stages during its pelagic larval stages. Changes in morphology, physiology, and biochemistry associated with moulting can affect the dietary needs of this species. Digestive enzyme activities are influenced by nutritional requirements and play a crucial role in nutrient utilization during the first-feeding stage of P. ornatus. However, limited information is available on digestive enzyme activities during other moulting stages. Understanding the fluctuations in digestive enzyme activities throughout the moult cycles can improve feed formulation and feeding strategies for this species.
