Blue swimming crab (Portunus (Portunus) pelagicus (Linnaeus, 1758)) is included as one of the fishery commodities that has high economic value and becomes one of the primadonnas in the field of fisheries. Besides in the local market, the blue swimming crabs can be one of the high levels and promising export commodities. The purpose of this research is to determine the size distribution and sex ratio from blue swimming crab in Java Sea near Gebang Mekar Village, Cirebon Regency. This research was conducted in Gebang Mekar Village, Cirebon Regency at September 2019 – October 2019 using the case study method with descriptive analysis and quantitative approach. Primary data used are the carapace width of blue swimming crab, amount of male and female blue swimming crab and female blue swimming crab containing egg. The results of the research that blue swimming crab catched by crab gillnet in Java Sea near Gebang Mekar Village, Cirebon Regency have sex ratio 1:1 and the growth of male crabs in these waters was faster than that of female crabs.
