Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the habitat preferences of the blue swimm crabs. There are some variations on the carapace of blue swimming crabs (Portunus pelagicus) from Makassar Strait. Crabs were grouping based on the colors, sex and patterns. The type of substrate, depth, and salinity were measured. The results of PCA analysis showed that each population occupies a different base substrates (P<0.01). The type of substrate was also positively correlate with depths and salinities. Informations on preferences to different kind of habitats will help the management of the aquaculture of blue swimming crabs in the future.
