The megalopa later moults into a stage one crab. Stage one crabs are only about 4 mm wide, but frequent moults mean that they grow very quickly. It is thought that wild mud crabs grow to around 10 cm in width in about a year and become sexual mature in about two years.The typical life span of a mud crab is thought to be three to four years.he megalopa later moults into a stage one crab.

For example: 1  Small, immature crabs have a short 10-20 day molting cycle which does not correlate to the lunar cycle. 2  Legal-size hard crabs have an approximate 30 day molting cycle. 3  Large hard crabs (those with a molting cycle in the 40-50 day range) are scarce and therefore are not monitored as closely.
