Variability in Morphological Traits and Nutritional Profiles of Adult in Different Aquacultural Regions.

is a species of significant economic importance in China's aquaculture industry. In order to investigate the variations in morphologic and nutritional profiles of farmed crabs across diverse farming regions, were collected from six aquafarms located in the primary cultivation areas in China. The findings revealed significant variations in specific morphological indices, but these are insufficient for clear regional distinction using PCA.

The Potential of Defatted Yellow Mealworm () Meal as an Alternative Protein Source for Juvenile Chinese Mitten Crab ().

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of replacing dietary fish meal (FM) with defatted yellow mealworm () meal (DYM) on growth performance, intestinal health, serum immune, and antioxidant indexes of juvenile Chinese mitten crab (). Four hundred juvenile Chinese mitten crabs (4.94 ± 0.

Genomic analysis of hypoxia-tolerant population of the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis).

Hypoxic stress, triggered by a multitude of factors, has inflicted significant economic repercussions on the aquaculture of Eriocheir sinensis. In this research, we sequenced a collective of 60 samples from both hypoxia-sensitive and hypoxia-resistant groups utilizing streamlined genome sequencing techniques. Subsequently, we delved into population evolution, scrutinized the selective sweep within these populations, and performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) focused on the hypoxia tolerance traits within the population, all through the lens of SNPs molecular markers.

Genetic variation mining of the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) based on transcriptome data from public databases.

At present, public databases house an extensive repository of transcriptome data, with the volume continuing to grow at an accelerated pace. Utilizing these data effectively is a shared interest within the scientific community. In this study, we introduced a novel strategy that harnesses SNPs and InDels identified from transcriptome data, combined with sample metadata from databases, to effectively screen for molecular markers correlated with traits.
