In the present study, we have observed that the impacts on crab diversity due to siltation occurred. Heavy siltation smoother vegetation inhibiting its growth, chokes smoother eggs in swamping area, prevents construction of nest on hard substrate, fills up the reservoir and causing slow reduction in Crab farm. In the present work, we have seen an irreversible negative impact on the eggs productivity in swamp area of Tapi River in an around Muktainagar region of Maharashtra, India. However we conclude that, if the catchment area will be treated by plantation and soil conservation works, its impacts will be multiplier in the area and the crab productivity will be more as compare to present status.
