“…So far, a lot of studies have been conducted on M. armatus, such as studies at individual level on their morphology (Shu et al, 2017;Zhou et al, 2019), nutritional composition (Wu et al, 2010;Fan et al, 2018), metal bioaccumulation (Javed and Usmani, 2016;Pandey et al, 2017), karyotype (Oliveira et al, 1997);, taxonomy (Jiang, 2018;Duong et al, 2020), reproduction (Serajuddin andPathak, 2012), histopathology (Dhole et al, 2011), sex-specific markers (Xue et al, 2020;Xue et al, 2021b), artificial breeding (Lin et al, 2016;Xue, 2018), Toll-Like Receptors (TLR) (Han et al, 2017;Han et al, 2019), mitochondrial genome sequencing (Li et al, 2016;Han et al, 2018), whole genome sequences at the chromosomal scale (Xue et al, 2021a), as well as population studies (Wang et al, 2012;Zou, 2013;Chen, 2014;Yang et al, 2016;Lin, 2017;Jiang, 2018;Thapliyal et al, 2020;Gao et al, 2022). Among the above listed population studies, some used mitochondrial DNA markers, such as COI (Chen, 2014;Jiang, 2018;Gao et al, 2022), Cytb (Wang et al, 2012;Thapliyal et al, 2020;Gao et al, 2022) and D-loop (Chen, 2014), and others employed nuclear makers, like SSR (Zou, 2013;Yang et al, 2016;Lin, 2017) and exon-pr...…”
