Shellfish allergy affects ~2.5% of the global population and is a type I immune response resulting from exposure to crustacean and/or molluscan proteins. The Australian Redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) is a freshwater species endemic to and...
The red-claw crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus has been widely introduced and cultured in China and has become a crucial economic freshwater species. However, individuals reared from the same batch of seedlings in uniform aquaculture systems exhibit si...
Crustaceans are among the most successful taxonomic groups in invasions worldwide. Humans can facilitate these invasions through introductions and disturbances in habitats. The Australian redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) is an invasive speci...
Through a 30-day experiment, this study investigated the effects of five photoperiods (0L:24D, 6L:18D, 12L:12D, 18L:6D, and 24L:0D) on the survival, enzyme activity, body color, and growth-related gene expression of redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricar...
This study investigated the effects of substituting fish meal (FM) with black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) meal (BSM) on the growth performance, body composition, immune response, and antioxidant enzyme activity of juvenile redclaw crayfish (Chera...
Redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) was introduced to China many years ago. In recent years, a breeding boom for C. quadricarinatus has been set off in China due to a breakthrough in key technology of seedling breeding. The size and growth rate...
High mortalities of redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) were reported from northern Queensland farms, mainly attributed to two viruses, Chequa iflavirus and Athtab bunyavirus. From a research population of redclaw crayfish with these pre-existi...
RNA interference (RNAi)-based biotechnology has been previously implemented in decapod crustaceans. Unlike traditional RNAi methodologies that investigate single gene silencing, we employed a multigene silencing approach in decapods based on chimeric...
The red-claw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus, is a commercially valuable freshwater aquaculture species, with muscle flavor representing a core trait driving consumer preference and market value. Under identical farming conditions, same-batch crayfi...
This research was to examine the impacts of long-term integrated rice–crayfish farming on soil nutrients, carbon pools, and rice yields in paddy fields. The aim was to establish a scientific basis for the sustainable development of RS in the no...
Polystyrene nanoplastic (PS-NP) contamination poses an emerging threat to aquaculture species, yet time-resolved assessments integrating host physiology, gut microbial ecology, and tissue bioaccumulation remain limited. Here, we evaluated the tempora...
The redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) features a unique intersex phenotype—functional males harboring a female (ZW) genotype. This study investigates the sexually dimorphic transcriptomic responses of the hepatopancreas to acute methyl...
The insulin signalling system is one of the most conserved endocrine systems of Animalia from mollusc to man. In decapod Crustacea, such as the Eastern spiny lobster, Sagmariasus verreauxi (Sv) and the red-claw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus (Cq),...
Intertidal macroinvertebrates, such as crabs and mud shrimps, are invertebrates inhabiting the intertidal zone that are sufficiently large to be identified with the naked eye. Most intertidal macroinvertebrates typically construct burrows of various...
