COMPARISON OF GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND BIOCHEMICAL COMPONENTS BETWEEN LOW-SALINITY-TOLERANT HYBRID AND NORMAL VARIETY OF PACIFIC WHITE SHRIMP (PENAEUS VANNAMEI)

Comparison of Growth Performance and Biochemical Components between Low-Salinity-Tolerant Hybrid and Normal Variety of Pacific White Shrimp (Penaeus vannamei)

Penaeus vannamei, a high-yield economical shrimp, is confronting germplasm degradation in the culture environments found in China, which results in a sharp drop in production.Genetic improvement by hybridization is an effective way to solve this problem.In this study, we selected the hybrid species adapted to low-salinity culture obtained by Signs

A Novel Widespread MITE Element in the Repeat-Rich Genome of the Cardinium Endosymbiont of the Spider Oedothorax gibbosus

ABSTRACT Free-living bacteria have evolved multiple times to become host-restricted endosymbionts.The transition from a free-living to a host-restricted lifestyle comes with a number of different genomic changes, including a massive loss of genes.In host-restricted endosymbionts, gene inactivation and genome reduction are facilitated by mobile gene
