　　　　Product Features: Tender meat, delicious taste, rich in nutrition

　　　　Product Introduction: The mud crab, scientifically known as Scylla serrata, is a premium aquatic product. Lingkun Island in Longwan District, located at the mouth of the Ou River, is abundant in mud crabs, hence it has earned the reputation as the “Home of Mud Crabs.”

　　　　In recent years, the wild population of mud crabs has sharply declined, while artificial farming has rapidly emerged. The total farming area on the island exceeds ten thousand mu, often mixed with clam cultivation, yielding excellent results — averaging one ton of clams and over fifty kilograms of mud crabs per mu, with an annual output of more than one thousand tons of mud crabs. It is reported that this year, after Wenzhou seafood industry players established a Wenzhou Premium Seafood Store in Shanghai, the people of Lingkun used this as a platform to introduce Lingkun mud crabs and clams to Shanghai, where they have been very well received. Especially the “Lingkun Brand” registered mud crabs, known for their plump and rich meat, high fullness rate, authentic flavor, and moderate pricing, have quickly gained a good reputation, becoming an ideal gift for friends and family during the National Day holiday. Mud crabs also offer high nutritional value. Their meat contains 19% protein, 8% fat, along with carbohydrates and various vitamins. Mud crabs are a delicacy at banquets and a nourishing food. Lingkun, situated at the mouth of the Ou River where seawater and freshwater converge, provides abundant natural bait and is an ideal habitat for mud crabs.　　

　　　　Product History: Rapid rise in artificial farming.

　　 The blue crab, also called mud crab or Scylla serrata, is a premium aquatic product — a delicious and nutritious edible crab. The Lingkun tidal flats, located on the eastern side of the Ou River at the mouth of the river in Longwan District of our city, sit at the convergence of saltwater and freshwater. The water quality is fertile and the temperature is moderate, making it suitable for the breeding and growth of blue crabs (mud crabs). In recent years, the wild population of mud crabs has sharply declined, while artificial farming has rapidly emerged. The total farming area on the island exceeds ten thousand mu, often mixed with clam cultivation, yielding excellent results — averaging one ton of clams and fifty-plus kilograms of blue crabs per mu. The entire island produces over a thousand tons of blue crabs annually, hence earning the title “Home of Mud Crabs.”

　　 As a local specialty, Lingkun blue crabs were once tributes to the imperial court and have long enjoyed a prestigious reputation. The people of Lingkun Island, with their pioneering spirit, broke away from traditional sales methods, registered their own brand trademarks, and especially the “Lingkun Brand” blue crabs, which are known for their plump and rich meat, high fullness rate, authentic flavor, and moderate price, have earned a fine reputation. Today, the “Lingkun Brand” blue crab has become a well-known branded product. In 2003, it was recognized by the Wenzhou Municipal People’s Government as a “Wenzhou Agricultural Branded Product.”

　　 In the golden autumn season, when chrysanthemums bloom and crabs are fat, the “Lingkun” brand mud crabs have stepped out of Wenzhou and entered major cities such as Hangzhou and Shanghai, also becoming one of the best gifts for visiting relatives and friends.
