Construction of the Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) Family Selection Population and Whole Genome Sequencing to Screen WIPFI Candidate Genes Related to Growth.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives:Procambarus clarkii is an important freshwater aquaculture species in China which has the characteristics of rich nutrition and delicious taste. However, the expansion of aquaculture scale, germplasm degradation, and other problems that have become increasingly prominent seriously restrict the sustainable development of the crayfish industry. Genetic improvement is an urgent need for the crayfish aquaculture industry, and selective breeding is an important way to improve the crayfish varieties. Methods: We established full-sibling family populations of the red swamp crayfish and performed whole-genome resequencing of the F3 family-selected red swamp crayfish population and wild red swamp crayfish populations from four regions of Hunan Province (Na
