Interaction of host gene-gut microbiota in male grading of Macrobrachium rosenbergii.

Abstract excerpt

The giant freshwater prawn (GFP; Macrobrachium rosenbergii), a crustacean of high nutritional and economic value, is crucial for aquaculture. During the same growth cycle, male GFPs develop into three distinct forms: small males, orange claw males, and blue claw males. These morphotypes display varying social behaviors, which severely constrain their industrial development. To address this, this study collected...
