Decapod crustaceans exhibit a wide range of osmoregulatory patterns and capabilities from
marine osmoconformers to brackish and freshwater hyperregulators to terrestrial …

Ecdysone receptor (EcR) is the primary regulator of the ecdysteroid signalling pathway, a
critical pathway that directly links to moulting. In addition, EcR also regulates growth …

Two independent experiments were performed to determine the effects of salinity on survival
and growth of juvenile Macrobrachium rosenbergii, first one was to determine the median …

The Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), a euryhaline penaeid species, can
tolerate a wide range of salinities, but little is known on its strategies to cope with low salinity …

Improved sustainable aquaculture can be achieved through biofloc technology (BFT) by
reducing feed input and water use. Although BFT is considered a viable culture strategy to …

Ontogenetic changes in osmoregulation were compared between two geographically
separate populations of a South American shrimp, Macrobrachium amazonicum, originating …

Studies of euryhaline crustaceans have identified conserved osmoregulatory adaptions
allowing hyper-osmoregulation in dilute waters. However, previous studies have mainly …

Salinity is one of the important environmental factors affecting survival and growth of aquatic
animals. However, the impact of low-salinity stress on M. rosenbergii post-larvae at different …

Salinity stress can trigger a series of physiological changes. However, the mechanism
underlying the response to acute salinity stress in Macrobrachium rosenbergii remains …

Gene silencing by dsRNA is well documented in crustaceans, but RNA interference (RNAi)
in developing oocytes is yet to be achieved. The main obstacle to RNAi in the oocytes of …
