Steroidal Control of Vitellogenesis in Crustacea: A New Understanding for Improving Shrimp Hatchery Production
نویسنده
چکیده
Hormonal control of oocyte maturation in crustaceans is reviewed. The bihormonal control of egg maturation is accomplished by the inhibitory neuropeptides originating in the X-organ/sinus gland neurosecretory system and a host of stimulatory hormonal factors secreted from various sources. Among the gonad stimulatory hormones, steroids play a pivotal role in the control of molting and reproduction in crustaceans. Whereas ecdysteroids control molting, vertebrate sex steroids such as estrogen and progesterone seem to control vitellogenic activities. A protocol to stimulate vitellogenesis and egg maturation in the commercially important marine and fresh water shrimps by combining eyestalk ablation with sex steroid hormone treatment is proposed.

Productivity, biochemical composition and biofiltering performance of agarophytic seaweed, Gelidium elegans (Red algae) grown in shrimp hatchery effluents in Malaysia
Aquaculture systems may release large amounts of nutrients into the marine ecosystem that can lead to eutrophication. Many seaweed species are efficient in reducing the nutrient concentration in aquaculture waste. In this study, the agarophyte Gelidium elegans originating from Korea was investigated for bioremediation of tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) broodstock effluent (SBE) in a shrimp hatch...

متن کاملCrustacean Vitellogenesis: Its Role in Oocyte Development1
SYNOPSIS. One of the major changes that occurs during the maturation of oocytes is the accumulation of yolk protein, or vitellin (Vn). To better understand how this process is regulated, we characterized the Vn of the ridgeback shrimp, Sicyonia ingentis (Penaeoidea). This Vn is a 322 kDa molecule composed of three subunits. Using purified Vn, we developed an anti-Vn antiserum and used it to cha...
متن کاملMechanisms for type-II vitellogenesis-inhibiting hormone suppression of vitellogenin transcription in shrimp hepatopancreas: Crosstalk of GC/cGMP pathway with different MAPK-dependent cascades
Vitellogenesis is the process of yolk formation via accumulating vitellin (Vn) with nutrients in the oocytes. Expression of vitellogenin (Vg), the precursor of Vn, is one of the indicators for the start of vitellogenesis. In Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), the type-II vitellogenesis-inhibiting hormone (VIH-2) effectively suppresses hepatopancreatic Vg mRNA expression. In this study...

The induction of the female-specific protein, vitellogenin, in male fish is a well-established endpoint to assess exposure to estrogen-like chemicals. The use of vitellogenesis as a biomarker for xenobiotic exposure in egg-laying invertebrates, however, is still relatively unexplored. Recently, we developed a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for vitellin in Neomysis intege...
