“…22 Parasitic lifestyle: Several classes of Crustacea contain parasites, including Cirripedia, Copepoda and Malacostraca, which are critical players in aquatic ecosystem dynamics. 91 Comparative genomics has demonstrated that parasites exhibit an apparently reduced number of protein-coding genes compared to free-living species. Furthermore, the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis, an ectoparasitic copepod, obtains heme proteins from its host, 92 whereas some non-coding RNAs and microbiota have been linked to the parasitic lifestyle of the sea louse Caligus rogercresseyi.…”

Genomic resources are increasingly being used to improve the production efficiency and profitability of aquaculture. Crustaceans are a large group of invertebrates that encompasses some of the most important farmed species in the aquaculture industry. However, very few crustacean genomes have been published although an aquaculture genome project was proposed as early as 1997. Breakthroughs in next‐generation and third‐generation sequencing technologies and the development of high‐complexity sequence assembly strategies have promoted the publication of an increasing number of crustacean genomes, thus paving a broad way for biological and genetic studies and applications in aquaculture. In this review, we summarize recent advances in crustacean genomic research as of June 2022, including genome sequencing and assembly, genomic characteristics, and the genetic mechanisms underlying various biological phenotypes, such as environmental adaptation, lifestyle, development, and sex determination. This review also discusses the application of crustacean genomes in aquaculture, including genetic dissection of economic traits and genome‐based selective breeding via genome‐wide association studies and genomic selection. High‐quality genomes are important not only for understanding the genetic basis of biologically and economically important traits but also for the genetic improvement of aquaculture species. However, the utilization of crustacean genomics still lags far behind those in other animals. Therefore, additional multi‐omics studies and technological development are needed to accelerate the application of genomics in aquaculture.

“…Due to the overwhelming presence of all these life strategies (parasitism in the wide sense), we can assume that this has also been the case quite some time ago. Yet, the fossil record of parasitism is still very incomplete (De Baets & Littlewood, 2015;, 2021, and recognising parasites as such is often challenging (Nagler et al, 2017;Haug et al, 2021;Schädel et al, 2021). Identifying host-parasite interactions is often even more challenging (Castellani et al, 2011;Klompmaker et al, 2014;van der Wal et al, 2021).…”

Parasites are virtually ubiquitous, and this has probably been the case for quite some time. The record of parasitic mites (sensu lato) goes back as far as the Carboniferous (~359–259 mya) and, in fact, they are one of the most reported parasites in amber. The six-legged larvae of the mite group Parasitengona have a wide host range, among which are flies. Here we report for the first time cases of larval erythraeoidean mites, commonly referred to as long-legged velvet mites, parasitising gall midges (Cecidomyiidae) in about 100 million years old (Cretaceous) Kachin amber, Myanmar. In three of the four cases here reported, a single erythraeoidean mite was attached to a gall midge, while in one of the cases two mites are associated to a gall midge host. Of the reported gall midges, one specimen represents the ingroup Lestremiinae, two represent unnamed lineages closely related to Cecidomyiinae, and one specimen might represent the group Cecidomyiinae, being the earliest record of this group so far. In the extant fauna, there are no records of associations of erythraeoidean larvae with gall midges. After the Cretaceous, long-legged velvet mites may have shifted their host range, although knowledge on the host range of parasitengonan mites is still limited to arrive to definitive conclusion.
