Title:
METHOD FOR REGULATING GROWTH OF DECAPODA CRUSTACEANS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/092170
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a means for regulating (accelerating or suppressing) growth of Decapoda crustaceans such as shrimp and crab. The method according to the present invention is for regulating growth of animals belonging to the order Decapoda and comprises a step for regulating (inhibiting or enhancing) functions of genes including at least one growth regulation-related gene selected from the group consisting of those involved in the mTOR pathway and the Akt pathway, and upstream and downstream factors thereof, and optionally further including at least one ecdysis-related gene selected from ecdysis-related factors, or functions of transcription products or translation products of said genes.
