“…Measurements of the carbohydrate content of crabs (Xantho bidentatus) and prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) showed a progressive decrease as embryonic development progressed (Babu 1987;Yao et al 2006). In the course of gonadal development, the moisture content of swimming crabs (Portunus trituberculatus) increased, while the protein, lipid, and carbohydrate contents decreased, with lipid consumption being most effected at up to 50.54% (Chen et al 2007). Therefore, efforts to identify the movement and energy utilization characteristics during the reproduction stage can aid in improving reproductive efficiency and protection of germplasm resources.…”

The cost of reproduction is the core driver of life history evolution in animals. This paper demonstrates that the cumulative distance moved and the duration of movement of sexually immature abalones, Haliotis discus hannai, kept in various male and female groups, were significantly higher than those of sexually mature individuals, except when kept in mixed cultures of mature males and females. After mixed‐culture, sexually mature males moved significantly further and for a longer duration than mature female abalones, and even more so than mature male abalones of any other group. Examination of the LC‐MS metabolomics of mature males cultured with sexually mature females (AM) and those cultured with sexually immature females (JM) showed that cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) acted as a differential metabolic biomarker. After 24‐h uninterrupted sampling, the concentration of 5‐HT and the expression levels of the 5‐HT2 and 5‐HT6 receptors in AM were significantly higher than those in JM. After further injection of 5‐HT2 and 5‐HT6 receptor antagonists, the concentrations of cAMP and PKA rose again, but the cumulative movement duration and distance of male abalones decreased significantly, showing that 5‐HT was involved in the regulation of movement behavior of male abalones through the 5‐HT2 and 5‐HT6 receptor‐activated cAMP‐PKA pathways. The results demonstrated a significant increase in the movement endurance of mature male abalones cultured with mature females, providing a theoretical basis for understanding the adaptive life history strategies of abalones and suggesting ways to protect diverse benthic resources for abalones during the reproductive stage.
