| A pen culture system of the mud crab, Scylla serrata was introduced in Mtwapa mangrove creek with the aim of finding an alternative source of income and food for the local communities, who practice artisanal fishery in the creek. Other objectives were to motivate the interaction between scientists and the community through technology transfer, and to collect scientific data necessary for maintenance and management of the culture system. Pen construction took place from October 2000 -January 2001. The pen was located in the intertidal area and measured 800 m2. It was constructed and fenced using uzio (fish trap) material made of mangrove poles and wood. Stocking of the pen with seed crabs occurred from February-May 2001. Local sources was used to obtain a... |

| Experimental culture of crabs, fish and prawns was conducted in a pond measuring approximately 800 m2 in Kwetu training center, Mtwapa, Kenya. The objective was to evaluate the success, potential and economic viability of the culture system. Crabs were placed in 6 experimental cages measuring 2 x 2x 0.5m for 3 months in different stocking densities in order to compare their survival. The three densities were 3.0, 6.0 and 9.0 crabs/m2. Other crabs were placed in compartments made of locally available ‘fito’ designed in eight compartments measuring 1x1 x 0.9 ft for crab fattening. In the same pond, 2045 juvenile prawns Penaeus monodon and P. indicus measuring between 21-25 mm in total length were stocked inside the pond to grow, together with milkfish and... |
