The aim is to evaluate a new submersible cage system for mud crabs compared to traditional floating cages in terms of growth and survival rates.
Developed a new submersible cage system for mud crabs.
Monitored water quality and crab growth over three months.
Compared specific growth rates and weight gains between submersible and floating systems.
Submersible cages showed significantly higher specific growth rates (1.13% d−1) and weight gains (199.17 g) than floating cages (0.85% d−1 and 122.8 g).
100% survival rate in submersible cages compared to 76.19% in floating cages.
Feed Conversion Ratio was significantly lower in submersible cages (4.61) than in floating cages (6.54).
