Scylla serrata (often called mud crab or mangrove crab, although both terms are highly ambiguous and black crab) is an ecologically important species of crab found in the estuaries and mangroves of Africa, Australia and Asia.
In their most common forms, their shell colours vary from a deep, mottled green to very dark brown.
Scylla serrata is a swimming crab with an oval carapace. The carapace bears four triangular frontal teeth between the eyes and nine anterolateral teeth on each side. The chelipeds (claw-legs) are massive and smooth, and longer than the other legs.
Mud crabs are prized by recreational fishers for their impressive size and delicious taste.

Mud crab (scylla serrata.)this important food crab is common in mangroves where fishermen hook them out of their burrows using long iron rods. They are also found in rocky areas with muddy substrates. Their colours vary from dark green (mangrove habitat) to bluish green (open waters). They feed on any animal matter available, preferring shelled molluscs. Because of their bulk, they use their paddle-like last pair of legs to burrow rather than swim. They are able to stay out of water for long periods. (width of shell up to 23cm). 250 - 350 g (small) 350 - 500 g (medium) 500 - 750 g (large) 750 - 900 g (ex-large) 900 and above (xxl)
