The invention relates to the technical field of 
aquaculture, in particular to an in-water cage cultivation technique for fast-growing sea crabs, comprising cultivation facilities and cultivation operations. The in-water cage cultivation technique is characterized in that a cultivation 
pool is located at seaside, water in the 
pool is 1.5 meters in depth, the water is transparent at a depth of more than 1 meter, the 
water temperature is 20-30 DEG C, and the 
salinity of the water is 5-25 permillage; cultivation cages for 
green crabs are arranged, each cultivation cage consists of an upper body and a 
lower body, the 
lower body is a cultivation chamber, the upper body is a feeding and observing chamber, and circular holes with 
diameter of 1 cm are distributed around the cultivation cage; a plurality of cultivation rafts for placing the cultivation cages are arranged, and each cultivation raft is provided with a frame made from 3-4 PVC (
polyvinyl chloride) tubes; an operation platform leading to the two sides of the 
pool is set up at the middle position of the cultivation pool; the 
green crabs are cultivated according to a proportion of 60 thousands of 
green crabs per 10 thousands square meters of cultivation water surface, for each cultivation cage, the ratio of daily feeding amount to the body weights of the crabs is 1 / 10, and feeding is performed once every day. With the adoption of the in-water cage cultivation technique for the fast-growing sea crabs, the limitation of indoor industrial cultivation is broken through, the soft-shell green crabs can be cultivated in a 
natural environment in a large area, the large-scale production of the soft-shell crabs is realized, and the cultivation cost is greatly reduced.
