Abstract The process of this research includes the morphometric characteristics of 200 Leptograpsus crabs emphasized in the data set handled by Campbell and Mahon. To determine the meat composition, differences such as gender, color, and other variables were investigated by considering the frontal lobe, posterior width, shell width, body depth, and shell lengths. As a consequence of the study, it was finalized that the meat ratios of Leptograpsus crabs, which were previously separated into two different colors, differ according to their colors. Simultaneously, when the nutritional ratios of crabs with high protein are concerned, it is seen that the ratio of midline length to the maximum width of orange crabs is higher. Moreover, it was supposed that the ratio of posterior region width to anterior region width of blue crabs was higher than that of orange crabs.
