Research Progress on Regulation Mechanism of Ovary Development in Shrimps and Crabs

Abstract

Abstract: Regulation of reproduction in shrimps and crabs is a highly complex process that requires participation of several regulative factors like neuropeptides, hormones, neurotransmitters etc. Neuropeptides are mainly secreted by X-organ-sinus gland（XO-SG）, brain and thoracic ganglia（TG）. The neuropeptides of CHH family synthesized and secreted by XO-SG play a key role in gonad development regulation process. In this article, recent studies related to gonadal regulation in shrimps and crabs are reviewed.

Key words: Shrimps and crabs, Ovary-development-regulation, CHH family, X-organ-sinus gland
