Scylla paramamosain
Scylla paramamosain is a mud crab commonly consumed in southeast Asia.
Distribution
Scylla paramamosain is found in Japan, Taiwan, China (including Hong Kong), Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore and Indonesia.[1] It is now produced by aquaculture farms in southern Vietnam.[2]
Taxonomy
Scylla paramamosain was described by Eulogio P. Estampador in 1949, as a subspecies of Scylla serrata.[3][4] It is now known that the crabs previously referred to as S. serrata in China were mostly S. paramamosain.[5]
