Blue Swimming Crab (BSC) is one of the important fisheries commodities in Indonesia. This commodity is a top three of Indonesia’s main exports after shrimp and tuna. However, this crab population continues to decline. This study aims to investigate the BSC industry and to determine cultivation efforts for sustainability for the last 10 years. Data was collected from references and analysis using bibliometrics . Every year, Indonesia exports more than 27.000 tons of crabs with a value of 422.000.000 USD . More than hundreds of countries as crab importers from Indonesia and C hina are the biggest crab importers, followed by the USA, Japan, Canada, and other countries . There was still a high potential for crab markets around the globe . Data from the Ministry of Marine and Fisheries Affairs Republic Indonesia showed that m arket share in China is just approximately 17%, USA 11,9%, Japan 5%, and Canada 4,7 %. Aquaculture effort was mad e to support the crab industry, including domestication. Domestication has been done since 2015. Using domesticated broodstock followed by consistently implementing a proper method will produce a high survival and growth rate of BSC. Some challenges that are faced by crab cultivation are the high mortality of larvae and juveniles due to disease and cannibalism. The disease outbreaks occurred when the water quality wa s poor and low feed nutrition. The high productivity of crab cultivation could be achieved when feed management , nutrition, and water quality are conducted consistently . The other factors that have to be concern , which relate to biosecurity and using a shelter for protecting the crab during cultivation.
