Mud crabs can walk around out of water quite happily, so to make sure the crabs we stock in our ponds stay there we have to enclose all our ponds with a short fence to keep them in. You can see the short black fence around the pond behind Edmund who is checking the salinity of one of our ponds with a refractometer. Mud crabs grow well at salinities from one third to over full strength seawater - very adaptable.
