In vitro fertilization and hybridization potential of the Indian white shrimp (Penaeus indicus).

Managing the reproduction of shrimp farmed in captivity is essential for selective breeding and interspecies hybridization. Procedures have not been developed for conducting in vitro fertilization in penaeid shrimp. In this study, the feasibility of in vitro fertilization (IVF) of the pre-ovulatory oocyte of Penaeus indicus was examined.

Phylogenetic relations and mitogenome-wide similarity metrics reveal monophyly of sensu lato.

Splitting of the genus sensu lato into six new genera based on morphological features alone has been controversial in penaeid shrimp taxonomy. Several studies focused on building phylogenetic relations among the genera of sensu lato. However, they lack in utilizing full mitochondrial DNA genome of shrimp representing all the six controversial genera.
