Summary: This study used high-throughput RNA sequencing to analyze the mechanisms and regulated genes involved in testis development in banana shrimp. Differentially expressed genes were identified, and some candidate genes were confirmed. Additionally, genes related to testis development were also discovered in the early stages of shrimp development. The transcript data obtained from this study provide insights into the genes required at different stages of testis development, which can aid in manipulating testicular development.

Summary: This study compared the efficiency of different cryoprotectants and thawing temperatures on germ cell cryopreservation in two marine shrimp species, finding that 10% DMSO and 10% GLY with vitrification are suitable for Fenneropenaeus merguiensis and Penaeus monodon, respectively. Thawing temperature was also found to have an impact on cell viability.

Summary: This study investigated the reproductive development of the banana shrimp and identified essential genes for testes and ovarian development. The findings also highlighted the important role of FoxL2 in banana shrimp reproduction. Transcriptional analysis demonstrated the binding of FoxL2 to the Vtg promoter and its impact on Vtg expression in the ovary.

Summary: FmGal, a galectin from Fenneropenaeus merguiensis, participates in shrimp immune response and is up-regulated upon infection with pathogens. It exhibits specific sugar specificity and enhances the phagocytosis and encapsulation ability of shrimp hemocytes towards pathogens.

Summary: This study investigated the advantages of multi-trait machine and deep learning genomic prediction models for quantitative complex traits in aquaculture species. The results showed that machine learning and deep learning models outperformed traditional single-step genomic best linear unbiased prediction models for all the studied traits in banana white shrimp. The multi-trait Bayesian model significantly improved the prediction accuracies for growth, carcass, and disease resistance, while the multi-trait random forest model only showed improvements for abdominal width and disease resistance. The multi-trait multilayer perceptron model improved the prediction accuracies for abdominal width and raw colour. Among the multi-trait models, the Bayesian method performed the best.

Summary: This study identified potential protein partners of FmGbb in banana shrimp and found that peritrophin and polehole-like protein are primarily expressed in the ovaries and have a stimulatory role in vitellogenesis. The injection of peritrophin in the ovaries and hepatopancreas of previtellogenic shrimp induced the expression of vitellogenin, suggesting a potential role for peritrophin as a gonad-stimulating bioproduct in shrimp aquaculture.

Summary: The study investigated the relationship between metabolic gene expression and antiviral responses in shrimp, identifying over 130 DEGs related to WSSV infection that were associated with innate immunity and metabolic pathways. The results suggested a link between the up-regulation of the rate-limiting enzyme FmGFAT in the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway and WSSV responses, impacting viral replication in shrimp.

Summary: Male sex differentiation in crustaceans is mainly controlled by the insulin-like androgenic gland hormone (IAG). In this study, the cDNA and gene of the shrimp FmIAG were analyzed, revealing different transcript variants and the potential impact of splicing of intron 4. The expression of FmIAG was found to be influenced by factors like eyestalk ablation and CHH-like gene, with implications for male growth regulation in shrimp aquaculture.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different levels of wet biofloc on the water quality, feeding, growth performance, survival, and body composition of banana shrimp. The results showed that up to 50% of commercial feed can be replaced with wet biofloc without compromising the growth performance, survival, and carcass quality of the shrimp.

Summary: The study assessed the effects of Banana shrimp stocking density on water quality, growth performance, survival rate, and body composition. The results showed that the lowest stocking density of 1000 shrimps/m(3) resulted in improved water quality, growth performance, and survival rate in a limited water exchange system.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the potential roles of ion-transport related genes and water channels in the Chinese shrimp's response to high-salinity stress. The results showed that the expression levels of these genes were significantly decreased in the post-larvae shrimp after 3 hours of high-salinity exposure. The genes were also down-regulated in the gills of adult shrimp under high-salinity stress, indicating their cooperation in reducing cellular water efflux and ion uptake or excretion.
