Aceh Province which is located at the far end of Sumatra island geographically geographically the western region is surrounded by the Malacca Strait, the Indian Ocean and its Northern Territory bordering the Bengal Strait. The coastal area has a coastline of 1,660 km with an area of 295,370 km² consisting of territorial sea (territorial waters and archipelagic waters) 56,563 km² and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) 238,807 km², besides being limited by the coast of Aceh the geographical area also consists of the mountains. This very strategic condition if managed properly has great potential for the development of aquaculture activities in the fisheries sector

One of the fisheries potentials in Aceh is Live mud Crab which is one of the coastal fishery commodities that has important economic value. The decline in the population of Live mud Crabs is caused by community activities, one of which is the large-scale capture of Live mud Crabs and aquaculture in ponds.
