    MUD CRABS - FULL SIZE

    Just Wondering.
    How Long Does It Take For a Mud Crab To reach its legal size of 15 cm's.
    And How Long Does It Take For Bream To Reach Its Legal Size.
    Any help With This One Would Be Much Appreciated.

    I heard a report on Brownies CW a few weeks back of a muddie that was caught and tagged at 14.5 cm then caught 2 and 1/2 months later at 18 cm.

    Sorry it's not what you asked for but I thought the incredible growth rate at that size might have been of interest.

    Checked in "The Mud Crab Book" by Kerry Wright (a good read). It seems to depend on water temperature. They're cold blooded & so their absorbsion of food is quicker in warm waters. In the tropics mature in 18 months while in cooler southern waters up to 3 years.
