“…In recent years, with the significant expansion of the genomic sequence data in many aquaculture species, more and more studies have focus on the identification of SNPs in aquaculture species (Hayes, Laerdahl, Lien, Moen, Berg, Hindar, Davidson, Koop, Adzhubei & Høyheim 2007;Ciobanu, Bastiaansen, Magrin, Rocha, Jiang, Yu, Geiger, Deeb, Rocha, Gong, Kinghorn, Plastow, Van der Steen & Mileham 2010;Li, He, Yang, Shan, Tan & Gao 2010;Van Bers, Crooijmans, Groenen, Dibbits & Komen 2012). However, the association studies between the SNPs and the production traits for most aquaculture species, especially for the Chinese mitten crab, are still limited comparing with that in other domestic animals (Clop, Marcq, Takeda, Pirottin, Tordoir, Bib e, Bouix, Caiment, Elsen, Eychenne, Larzul, Laville, Meish, Milenkovic, Tobin, Charlier & Georges 2006;Daga et al 2013;Glatzer et al 2013;Kim et al 2013).…”
