Combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis reveal key regulatory genes and pathways of feed conversion efficiency of oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense is an economically important aquaculture species in China, Japan, and Vietnam. In commercial prawn farming, feed cost constitutes about 50 to 65% of the actual variable cost. Improving feed conversion efficiency in prawn culture will not only increase economic benefit, but also save food and protect the environment. The common indicators used for feed conversion efficiency include feed conversion ratio (FCR), feed efficiency ratio (FER), and residual feed intake (RFI). Among these, RFI is much more suitable than FCR and FER during the genetic improvement of feed conversion efficiency for aquaculture species.

Results

In this study, the transcriptome and metabolome of hepatopancreas and muscle of M. nipponense from high
