Providing shelters is considered an effective method to prevent self-harm and improve the survival rate of Scylla paramamosain . In this study, four shelter groups—the shelters of which included fine sand, arched tiles, PVC pipes, and trapezoidal net cages—and one group without shelters were established to investigate the effects of shelters on S. paramamosain by calculating their feeding rate, molting rate, survival rate, and...

Wnt genes encode a family of secretory glycoproteins that are involved in various stages of organ development through regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and growth. Recently, Wnt genes have been shown to play an important role in regeneration processes. However, there have been no previous genome-wide analyses of the Wnt gene family members in crab species. In this study, a total of 13 Wnt family genes were ide...
