Effects of stocking density on the growth performance, mitophagy, endocytosis and metabolism of Cherax quadricarinatus in integrated rice-crayfish farming systems.

ABSTRACT: Red claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) is an economic freshwater shrimp with great commercial potential. However, the suitable stocking density of C. quadricarinatus is still unclear in integrated rice-crayfish farming system. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effects of stocking density on growth performance, mitophagy, endocytosis and metabolism of C. quadricarinatus. The C. quadricarinatus was reared at low density (LD, 35.73 g/m²), middle density (MD, 71.46 g/m²) and high density (HD, 107.19 g/m²) in an integrated rice-crayfish farming system. After 90 days of farming, the growth performance of C. quadricarinatus significantly decreased in the MD and HD groups relative to that in the LD group. The HD treatm
