''All species belonging to the genus Coenobita in Japan are recognised collectively as a Natural Monument, to promote their conservation. Therefore, Coenobita species were collected and cultured with the permission of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan. In addition, the coconut crab is listed as ’Vulnerable’ in the Red Data Book by the Ministry of the Environment of Japan. Therefore, after the end of the culture experiments, collected crabs were returned to their natural habitats.''
