Abstract :The purpose of this study was to determine the blue crab\'s growth parameters and explore potential adaptations while it was kept in an earthen pond for ninety days. After samples from October 2012 and August 2013 were analyzed, the breeding and biological characteristics of the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, 1896) in the South Aegean were determined. Blue crabs\' adaptation to the earth pond, growth circumstances, and morphometric measuremalets using information from the literature are discussed. The process of adaptation took a week, during which time individual blue crabs were seen to begin feeding. The Ege the University Faculty received nine units from the Pond in the Kusadasi/Güzelçamlı area that were examined in cages with 108 distinct experimaletal groups of persons out of 20 living humales.Keywords : Mavi yengeç, mavi yengeç yetiştiriciliği, adaptasyon çalışmaları
