Work Package
4 : Technical Identification Keys |
|
|
|
|
Objectives:
To establish morphological criteria for distinguishing larvae
and juveniles of four Scylla species and to produce
technical key for identification
|
|
|
|
Broodstock of the Scylla serrata,
S. tranquebarica and S. olivacea were identified
following Keenan et al. (1998). Using standard
larviculture methods, samples of each larval stage and of
juveniles were collected and preserved. Detailed taxonomic
descriptions are being documented by researchers at University
of Wales and SEAFDEC/AQD. Parental females and samples of
larvae and juveniles of each species will be preserved and
kept in an appropriate museum. |
