Article Link: https://doi.org/10.1186/s40462-026-00636-y AbstractMovement to spawn in offshore waters provides numerous benefits to inshore marine fish and crustacean species, but there is often limited empirical data on the behaviour and ecology of this key aspect of their life history. This is the case for Portunid mud crabs of the genus Scylla, which have swimming abilities and are widely distributed throughout the Indo-West Pacific.
