The Blue Swimming Crab (BSC) fisheries will gradually decrease in the number of populations in the nature if the catch is carried out continuously without regard to the aspects of sustainability. As an organization that puts the focus on the management of BSC, the Indonesian Blue Swimming Crab Association/Asosiasi Pengelolaan Rajungan Indonesia (APRI) also strives to make optimum use of the BSC and maintain their sustainability in nature. This was realized by APRI in various activities including BSC cultivation.

The BSC cultivation that initiated by APRI in collaboration with BBPBAP Jepara has been going on for 3 months 11 days since the spreading of the crablets and was ready to be harvested. Then on Wednesday, September 19, 2018 at BBPBAP Jepara, the BSC harvest was held and attended by several members of APRI namely:

1. PT Kelola Mina Laut
2. PT Bumi Menara Internusa
3. Handy Seafood International
4. PT Grahamakmur Ciptapratama
5. PT Muria Bahari Indonesia
6. PT Sumber Mina Bahari

The BSC harvesting process also includes the steaming process to obtain the Raw Material (RM) and Raw Cook (RC) quantities. Harvested results were 125.94 kg of RM and 98.11 kg of RC with a range of 1680 BSC. The process of BSC cultivation carried out by APRI in collaboration with BBPBAP Jepara, naturally experienced various obstacles. This BSC cultivation process provides very useful experiences and learning. It is hoped that with enthusiasm and perseverance, the BSC cultivation program can be better and continues to grow to be able to obtain optimum results and maintain the sustainability of the BSC, moreover to be able to increasing it.
