Background: In recent years, the total production of mud crab Scylla paramamosain has been declining, and the breeding areas are faced with land shortage and shortage of breeding production, which needs to be solved urgently. S. paramamosain can survive and grow in a wide range of salinities is an excellent variety suitable for saline-alkali water aquaculture.

In this study, cultured in saline-alkali water (SS) and ordinary seawater (CS) (both have a breeding time of 120 days) were selected for analysis ( = 5). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to measure free amino acids and flavoring nucleotides in the muscles of , while the taste activity value (TAV) and equivalent umami concentration (EUC) were used to analyze the degree of umami.

Introduction: The mud crab, , holds great commercial significance as a marine crustacean widely cultivated in the Indo-Pacific region. Understanding the core gut microbiota of aquatic animals is crucial for their overall health and growth, yet the core gut microbiota of mud crab remains poorly characterized.
Methods: In this study, we gathered gut samples from mud crabs across five locations within Sanmen Bay, China.
