Interspecies hybridization has been widely used in the development of aquaculture in fish species but there is not much impact in crustacean species. Several species of crustaceans that have been successfully crossed still have low hatching rates and the hybrids obtained have not met expectations. This review tries to summarize and analyse interspecific hybridization of cultured crustacean species (shrimps, lobsters, crayfish...

Introduction Crustacean predators exhibit diverse trophic interactions across various habitats in aquatic ecosystems. To assess their ecological roles, it is essential to understand their complete dietary spectrum. Recently, DNA-based techniques such as DNA metabarcoding and high-throughput sequencing have provided insights into trophic networks and their response to environmental drivers. Methods In this study, we used these...

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, development, reproduction and regeneration in crustaceans. However, there remains a huge gap of knowledge between the detailed structure and functional role(s) of crustacean EcR compared to that of insects. Motif and phylogenetic analyses of publicly...
