Population parameters of the orange mud crab (Herbst, 1796) from the Sundarban mangrove forest in Bangladesh.

Population parameters of orange mud crab () were estimated, aiming to determine sex ratios, carapace width-body weight (CW-BW) relationships, asymptotic width (CW), growth coefficient (K), mortality (Z, M, and F), recruitment and level of exploitation (E) in the Sundarban mangrove forest, located in the south-western part of Bangladesh. Year-round samples were collected using hook-lines and baited traps, the population parameters were measured from CW frequency data using FiSAT-II analyzer. The study showed that the overall male and female sex ratio was 1:0.
