Mud Crab
There are only 49 crabbing licences in the Northern Territory. 15 of those are contracted by Seaking Seafood Supplies. Most of the mud crabs come from around Gove, the Roper River and Bynoe Harbour. The species name is Scylla serrata. Scylla are found throughout the Indo-West Pacific region, ranging in Australia from NSW to southwest WA, but the NT has pristine waters, consistently larger crabs and can provide females. The female crabs are larger underneath and are generally at their best in the second half of the year while the males have bigger claws, a more elongated shell and are at their best in the first half of the year. Annual total production from the NT is around 1000 tonnes.
