摘 要:Genetic breeding is an important approach to improve the economic traits of aquaculture ***,the genetic basis for important economic traits of red swamp crayfish,including growth-related traits,has not yet been *** the present study,two full-sib families and two natural populations were employed to identify quantitative trait loci(QTLs)for growth-related traits of red swamp *** total,28 QTLs for five growth-related traits,including body weight,body length,carapace length,carapace width,and abdomen length,were repeatedly identified in more than two families/populations,by means of association analysis;nine of these displayed a heterosis *** phenotypic variations of the five investigated traits explained by the 28 QTLs ranged from 4.2%to 19.0%.Eight additive and three heterosis QTLs were further successfully validated using comparative analysis of favoured alleles between the small and big size crayfish groups in the natural *** conclusion,this study investigated the genetic basis of growth-related traits in red swamp crayfish,which is of great significance for their application in the future molecular breeding of the species.
