Scylla paramamosain is found along the coastlines of the South China Sea down to the Java Sea.[1][2] It is now produced by aquaculture farms in southern Vietnam.[3]
Taxonomy
Scylla paramamosain was described by Eulogio P. Estampador in 1949, as a subspecies of Scylla serrata.[4][5] It is now known that the crabs previously referred to as S. serrata in China were mostly S. paramamosain.[6]
