What is Composition, size distribution, length-weight relationship of sympatric mud crab species (Scylla) and the case of presumed hybrids about?
Multiple species of mud crabs are known to co-exist sympatrically within the same ecosystem. However, little is known about the potential factors influencing their community composition. In addition, four types of presumed hybrids (SH 1–4) of the genus Scylla with distinct variations in morphological and morphometric characters were reported recently at Kota Marudu Mangrove Forest, Sabah, Malaysia. Therefore, this study described the species composition and investigated the potential species composition-regulating factors of mud crabs in Kota Marudu Mangrove Forest, Sabah, Malaysia. Further, the size distribution, length-weight relationships, and Fulton's condition factors (Ks) of Scylla species, including S. olivacea, S. tranquebarica, S. paramamosain and presumed hybrid SH 1 were also estimated and compared. Interchanging distribution patterns were observed between the two dominating species – S. paramamosain and S. tranquebarica. Interestingly, all four presumed hybrids were only found in September and October 2012. Poisson regression showed that species, sex, and sampling period were influencing factors of Scylla's composition variation. In terms of size, S. tranquebarica was t
