We estimated mud crab () population parameters to determine recruitment patterns, asymptotic carapace width ( ), growth coefficient (), mortality rate (, , and ), exploitation rate () and relationship between body weight and carapace width ( - ) in the terrestrial edge of the Sundarbans mangrove forest, Bangladesh. Baited long lines and traps were used to collect crab samples from the terrestrial edge of the mangroves (up to 10 km inside of the Sundarbans mangroves) monthly for a year (Jan 2021-Dec 2021). These frequency data were utilized to determine population characteristics.
