Transcriptomics in advancing portunid aquaculture: A systematic review

Abstract

The rapid advancement of next-generation sequencing technologies has promoted the use of transcriptomics in non-model organisms, including species in the aquaculture sector. Compared to that of other crustacean species, portunid crab aquaculture is impeded by the insufficient knowledge of their biological and physiological processes. This systematic review summarised the advances in transcriptomics in cultured portunid crabs using a systematic literature review methodology. The filtered transcriptome dataset comprised 66 articles from four genera: Scylla, Portunus, Cal-

Phylogenetic and transcriptomic characterization of insulin and growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases in crustaceans

“…Moreover, this extensive catalog of crustacean RTKs facilitates a systematic analysis of InsR, EGFR, FGFR, and PVR functions in various physiological processes, including, but not limited to, molting and growth, reproduction, regeneration, development and metamorphosis, nutrition and metabolism, and immunity, as well as their interactions with environmental stressors arising from climate change ( 94 – 96 ). Moreover, a greater understanding of growth factor/RTK signaling has important applications to sustainable aquacultural practices and the development of entirely new bioindustries, such as cellular agriculture and cultivated meats ( 28 , 97 – 102 ).…”

A review of the quantitative real-time PCR and Omics approaches applied to study the effects of dietary selenium nanoparticles (nano-Se) on fish

“…Transcriptome profiling provides a foundation for studies targeting the genes expressed in a living organism under diverse developmental stages or environmental conditions. This type of study is essential for detecting transcripts related to molecular mechanisms ruling biological processes [67] . Recent progress in next-generation sequencing technology (NGS) enables whole transcriptome profiling, even in an organism without a genomic reference [68] .…”

“…Recent progress in next-generation sequencing technology (NGS) enables whole transcriptome profiling, even in an organism without a genomic reference [68] . This new technique is more efficient for the comprehensive assessment of the complex transcriptome compared to its predecessors, such as expressed sequence tag (EST) technology and microarray [67] . The recent literature on the application of transcriptomics in various aspects of aquaculture, such as reproduction, developmental stage, nutrition, immunity, and toxicology, has already been reviewed by Chandhini and Rejish Kumar [69] .…”

“…2 ), China, with almost 45 % of the Omics studies of nano-Se supplementation in fish, is the highest contributor, followed by Egypt (37 %) and Iran (7.5 %). Since China is globally the biggest producer of aquaculture products [67] , its domination in most aquaculture studies is reasonable.

Development of Microsatellite Markers Based on Transcriptome Sequencing and Evaluation of Genetic Diversity in Swimming Crab (Portunus trituberculatus)

“…Transcriptomic SSRs have been extensively explored and applicated in various aquatic species, such as giant freshwater prawn ( Macrobrachium rosenbergii ) ( Jung et al, 2011 ; Yu et al, 2019 ), oriental river prawn ( Macrobrachium nipponense ) ( Ma et al, 2012 ), mud crab ( Scylla paramamosain ) ( Ma et al, 2014 ), Paphia textile ( Chen et al, 2016 ), Penaeus monodon ( Nguyen et al, 2016 ), and pearl oyster ( Pinctada maxima ) ( Wang et al, 2019a ). Transcriptomics have also played an important role in advancing portunid aquaculture ( Waiho et al, 2022 ). Nevertheless, the current transcriptome studies involving P. trituberculatus mainly focus on its nutrition ( Zhou et al, 2019a ; Fang et al, 2021a ), development ( Liu et al, 2018a ; Liu et al, 2019 ), reproduction ( Wang et al, 2018b ), and sex determination ( Zhang et al, 2022 ), while molecular research is scarce.…”
