Summary: This study investigated the effect of environmental differences on the growth traits of candidate parents in a breeding program for Macrobrachium rosenbergii. The heritability and genotype by environment interaction were estimated for harvest body weight (HBW) and average daily weight gain (ADG) in communal rearing stage (CRS) and individual rearing stage (IRS). The results showed that the heritability decreased in the IRS compared to the CRS, and the impact of IRS on the growth traits was more significant for males. It is suggested that IRS should be considered in parent selection and mating schemes for more accurate selection of parents in breeding programs for M. rosenbergii.

Summary: Snail control in aquaculture and control of snail vectors implicated in animal and human diseases are global challenges. Crayfish species have the potential to be biocontrol agents against snails, but their invasive nature limits their use. The Australian redclaw crayfish could be a promising biocontrol agent, but its aquaculture escapees have become invasive. Producing monosex C. quadricarinatus populations could be a sustainable solution for snail control and improve yields and management in crayfish aquaculture without establishing invasive populations. Female C. quadricarinatus showed high efficiency in predation experiments and all-female populations could be produced through biotechnology.

Summary: In this study, the complete and functional sex reversal was achieved by knocking down the MroDmrt11E gene in male prawns, resulting in the production of an all-male monosex population. Comparative transcriptomic analysis provided new insights into the genes involved in sexual differentiation affected by MroDmrt11E knockdown. The study also investigated the potential roles of MroDmrt11E in male sexual differentiation and analyzed the molecular regulatory relationships of candidate genes related to sexual differentiation.

Summary: A novel ssDNA virus, Macrobrachium hepatopancreatic bidnavirus (MHBV), was identified in giant freshwater prawn using metagenomic analysis and de novo assembly. This virus showed circular, eosinophilic inclusions in the nuclei of hepatopancreatic cells. The MHBV genome closely matched the polymerase B gene in the V1 fragment of Bombyx mori bidensovirus 2 (BmBDV2) and belongs to the family Bidnaviridae.

Summary: Aquaculture has been the fastest-growing food production sector in recent decades, with treated wastewater being explored as an alternative water resource to cope with increasing water demand in agriculture. Reuse of treated wastewater for aquaculture has shown economic and environmental advantages, but faces challenges such as sociocultural perception and the need for further research and legislation to support implementation.

Summary: Monogenean parasites pose challenges to sustainable aquaculture due to fish morbidity and mortality. Traditional chemical treatments have limitations and risks, leading to the exploration of alternatives such as using extracts from the pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. These extracts have shown efficacy against the monogenean parasite Gyrodactylus turnbulli affecting Poecilia reticulata, with potential applications in cultured fish for parasite control and antibacterial effects against specific bacteria.

Summary: This study successfully established two CRISPR platforms for the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii and achieved high gene editing efficiency through optimization. Editing efficiency was examined and reached as high as 100% in embryos, while the maximum efficiency obtained in primary embryonic cell cultures was 64%. Additionally, a striking difference in deletion patterns around the Cas9 cut site was observed between the two systems, indicating distinct repair mechanisms that require further clarification. The investigation of the Pax6 transcription factor provided a phenotypic proof of concept by showing clear effects on eye development in edited embryos and larvae. This study lays down the foundations for precise functional genomic research and genome editing applications in crustacean species for both aquaculture and sustainable biocontrol, offering opportunities for the creation of selected crustacean lines with distinct attributes.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
