Aquaculture is one of the most efficient modes of animal protein production and plays an
important role in global food security. Aquaculture animals exhibit extraordinarily diverse …

This article reviews the morphogenesis, morphology, histology, ultrastructure, and structural–
functional relationships of the hepatopancreas, the main metabolic organ of the Decapoda …

An important assessment prior to genome assembly and related analyses is genome
profiling, where the k-mer frequencies within raw sequencing reads are analyzed to estimate …

Crustacea, the subphylum of Arthropoda which dominates the aquatic environment, is of
major importance in ecology and fisheries. Here we report the genome sequence of the …

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is Earth's most abundant wild animal, and its enormous
biomass is vital to the Southern Ocean ecosystem. Here, we report a 48.01-Gb chromosome …

With the advent of the Anthropocene, biological invasions have reached an unprecedented
level, and the number of species introductions is still increasing in an ever‐changing world …

Genomic resources are increasingly being used to improve the production efficiency and
profitability of aquaculture. Crustaceans are a large group of invertebrates that …

We present the results of our 13th annual horizon scan of issues likely to impact on
biodiversity conservation. Issues are either novel within the biological conservation sector or …

Chitin is among the most important components of the crustacean cuticular exoskeleton and
intestinal peritrophic matrix. With the progress of genomics and sequencing technology, a …

The∼ 15.000 decapod crustaceans that are mostly omnivorous have evolved a structurally
and functionally complex digestive system. They have highly effective cuticular chewing and …
