What kind of crab? Flower crab, mud crab?
*
Soft shell mud crab for start. Yeah... Probably a lot of snipping required...

So full time crab farmer now? Or part time jer?

Where u get your anak crab?

Mud crab or those flower crab?

Have you calculated your ROI?

Do you have experience with crab?

A lot of question. Wanna pick the thoughts of entrepreneur...
*
From crablings supplier. But don't think it is sustainable unless we make our own hatchery.

Mud crab. Soft shelled for start.

My math is naturally bad. So I try not to think about it. Just go with the flow.

I got an aquarium in my place as hobby. That's the extent of my experience dealing with aquatic creature. Not crab though.

Never go as far as thinking I'm a entrepreneur for now. Now I'm thinking myself as a plumber. A damn bad one.

Interested and supportive of your new venture.

Just kaypoh to know:

- how long turnover from hatchery to market?
- freshwater/saltwater/brackish water?
- where's your farm anyway?
- how much profit margin expected?

I might be a crab operator some day too
*
Brackish water, my farm is at backwater state in Pantai timur.

I'm trying not to think about the maths first until my small farm is fully operational. I'm a simple guy.

Teach me, give me some pointers on where to start. Plenty of land in rural Thai but not sure how to make money from it.
*
My advice? Stop thinking. Once you spend few ks you will be desperate enough to see it through.

Wow nice. If u already start ur research, what is the most concern about breeding them? Like chicken ppl said easily get flu etc. How about crab?
*
There will be risk of desease. Will try to minimize it through UV filtration. Crab usually dies from parasite infection.

4-5k only. 10k is maybe enough for a starting farm. That's it if you DIY. Same as PC building only.
