Jiangsu Province, near to Shanghai, is famous for being the cradle of the well known Shanghai crab. 

Today, Jiangsu Province has 200,000ha area of ponds dedicated to the production of Shanghai crabs. Meanwhile, due to the rapid economic growth in recent years, Jiangsu province is facing serious environmental pollution especially regarding water system pollution problems that make impact on the crab production.  

In addition, application of antibiotics and growth-promoting hormone is commonly use throughout the crab market but there is a movement arising to improve the image of the market these days and reduce the administration of medicine.
