Fecundity of crabs varies from species to species and also varies within the same species due to different factors such as age, size, nourishment, ecological conditions of the water body etc. Variation in fecundity was primarily a reflection of variation in the size of the crab at maturity (Arshad et al., 2006). Additionally, estimates of the fecundity of crabs have typically been based on the number of eggs in a single batch of eggs. However, such an approach does not take into account the fact that female crabs often produce more than one batch of eggs during a spawning season (De Lestang et al., 2003).
