To classify species of the mud crab genus Scylla for stock managements, color variations among species were observed using a simple digital imaging analysis. Using digital images obtained from 42 crabs, we sampled original color specification (sRGB) values of 4 lines on a chela of each crab. These data were translated into L* a* b* color specification values by the color matching functions. The characters of L*, a* and b* values were different among three species in several observed regions. In particular, a* values of Scylla olivacea on Line 1 and 2 were almost higher than the other 2 species, and b* values of Scylla serrata on Line 1 and 2 were lower than the others. Principal component and discriminant analyses also demonstrated apparent color differentiation among three species. Therefore, we can distinguish three species by these features of color specification.
