One crab, one cell
Individual housing eliminates fighting, cannibalism and limb loss — survival rates and product quality stay high.
Each mud crab gets its own cell in a stackable crab house system, stopping fighting, cannibalism and limb loss. Hundreds to thousands of cells stack into vertical racks, a RAS water loop keeps quality up, and soft-shell crabs can be collected at the exact moment of moulting for maximum value.

Product Description
Crab House is an indoor factory stereo aquaculture using recycling water equipment designed for avoiding a conventional breeding pattern of low survival rate and higher risk, such as ordinary pound farming, sea aquaculture, and large indoor pool aquaculture.
Crab House consisted of many groups with ten floors and each floor has ten boxes, which is one hundred boxes totally for one group. Every group is equipped with a recycling water aquaculture system including a high-speed grit filter tank and UV Sanitiser.

System composition
Individual housing eliminates fighting, cannibalism and limb loss — survival rates and product quality stay high.
Multi-tier racks multiply output per square metre many times over versus open ponds.
Tier-by-tier flow with filtration and aeration runs the farm indoors, year-round, independent of tides and weather.
Each cell is inspected individually, so soft-shell crabs are collected at the exact moulting moment for premium prices.
Box size, cell count, rack height and RAS configuration scale from a pilot rack to a full commercial room.
Non-toxic PVC / ABS / PP, safe for food crabs.
Application
FAQ
It is a modular single-crab box system where each crab is housed in its own individual cell, which stops fighting, cannibalism and limb loss and lets every animal be fed, inspected and harvested separately.
The boxes stack into vertical racks, multiplying stocking capacity per square metre many times over versus open ponds.
The rack ties into a recirculating aquaculture system — water flows through every tier, passes mechanical and biological filtration, and returns clean and oxygenated, so the operation runs indoors year-round regardless of tides or weather.
It is aimed at soft-shell crab fattening, mud crab grow-out and live crab holding, where individual housing plus RAS water quality drive survival and price premiums.
Boxes are molded from food-grade PVC / ABS / PP, each with a perforated door for flow-through and feeding access.
A crab farming box is the individual cell in our stackable crab house system — one crab per box, food-grade PVC/ABS/PP, roughly 20×20×10 cm. Crab farming box price depends on material, cell count and whether it's a standalone box crab farming rack or a full RAS-integrated system; a 10-tier rack with 100–200 cells is the typical entry point. Crab farming boxes for sale are quoted by rack, not by individual cell — contact us with your target cell count.
Yes — crab farming in plastic boxes is exactly what a crab house does: food-grade PVC/ABS/PP mud crab farming boxes with a perforated door for flow-through water and feeding, stacked into vertical racks tied to a RAS loop. It solves the two biggest problems of open-pond crab farming — cannibalism and inconsistent water quality.
