Overview

This study assesses crab diversity and species abundance in a mangrove rehabilitation site, suggesting high species richness.

Key Points

  • Brachyuran crabs were more abundant in new-growth mangroves compared to old-growth areas, indicating habitat preference.
  • A total of 163 crab individuals were sampled, revealing 12 species across seven families in the study site.
  • The highest crab diversity index was found in the Eastward zone, suggesting varying ecological conditions among locations.
  • Population density differed significantly among species, highlighting variability in crab community structure within habitats.
