Abstract: With the rapid development of genomics technique, a large number of functional genes have been identified from aquatic animals. Furthermore, many alleles and genotypes of these genes have been found to be associated or linked with economically important traits by constructing the association between genes polymorphisms and traits. Studying on gene resources not only helps to understand the molecular regulatory mechanism on economical traits, but also provides theoretical and technical assistances for molecular marker-assisted selection in aquatic animals. This paper reviewed the progress of functional genes related with economically important traits for in aquatic animals that will be useful to study on gene regulatory network and molecular marker-assisted selection.
