“…For example, a recent assessment of the mitten crab (Eriochier sinensis) on the West Coast found that PS, where the crab has not yet been recorded, has suitable habitat and abiotic conditions to support a mitten crab population (Hanson and Sytsma, 2008). E. sinensis is currently only present on the West Coast in SFB, where it was first recorded in 1992 and reached a numerical peak in 1998 (Rudnick et al, 2003). In 2005, 107 vessels traveled directly from SFB to PS and 64 of these vessels discharged 454,520 MT of ballast water.…”

“…Although mitten crab is considered as an invasive species in Europe and America (Rudnick et al 2003;Paunovic et al 2004), it makes a significant contribution to the aquaculture sector in China (Chen et al 2007). The recent trends (from 1990 to 2012) in production and value of mitten crab culture demonstrate the increasing importance of this species for the aquaculture sector in China (Fig.…”

Results of a survey of 156 Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) grow-out farms around Hongze Lake (118.48-118.72°E; 33.36-33.38°N) are reported. Area farmed has remained relatively unchanged but production (59 932 t in 2012) increased steadily over the last 7 years, indicative of the viability and sustainability of the farming system that has gradually replaced intensive Chinese major carp polyculture around Hongze Lake. Results showed that production range was 135-2400 kg ha -1 cycle -1 (mean 1144 ± 34). Crab yields correlated linearly to stocking density and conformed to a normal distribution curve, with 66.7 % of farms yielding 900 kg ha -1 cycle -1 or more. Yield was negatively correlated to pond size and capture size (p\0.01), and farms with macrophyte coverage rate lower than 30 % of water surface were significantly (p\0.05) lower than those exceeding 30 %.

“…Beyond its native range in East Asia, E. sinensis was accidentally introduced to Europe (Herborg et al, 2005) as well as North America (Rudnick et al, 2003), where it has led to various ecological and economic damages, and is listed by International Union for Conservation of Nature as one of the world's 100 worst invasive alien species (Lowe et al, 2000). Hence, as an important ecological and economic species, E. sinensis could serve as a model species of decapod crustaceans.…”

High-density linkage mapping aided by transcriptomics documents ZW sex determination system in the Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis

The sex determination system in crabs is believed to be XY-XX from karyotypy, but centromeres could not be identified in some chromosomes and their morphology is not completely clear. Using quantitative trait locus mapping of the gender phenotype, we revealed a ZW-ZZ sex determination system in Eriocheir sinensis and presented a high-density linkage map covering~98.5% of the genome, with 73 linkage groups corresponding to the haploid chromosome number. All sex-linked markers in the family we used were located on a single linkage group, LG60, and sex linkage was confirmed by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Forty-six markers detected by GWAS were heterozygous and segregated only in the female parent. The female LG60 was thus the putative W chromosome, with the homologous male LG60 as the Z chromosome. The putative Z and W sex chromosomes were identical in size and carried many homologous loci. Sex ratio (5:1) skewing towards females in induced triploids using unrelated animals also supported a ZW-ZZ system. Transcriptome data were used to search for candidate sex-determining loci, but only one LG60 gene was identified as an ankyrin-2 gene. Double sex-and mab3-related transcription factor 1 (Dmrt1), a Z-linked gene in birds, was located on a putative autosome. With complete genome sequencing and transcriptomic data, more genes on putative sex chromosomes will be characterised, thus leading towards a comprehensive understanding of the sex determination and differentiation mechanisms of E. sinensis, and decapod crustaceans in general.
