Funded Activity Summary

An investigation of the underlying mechanisms that control gender and fertility in the Moreton Bay Bug, Thenus orientalis. To date there is no available information on the underlying biochemical and genetic mechanisms that control gender and fertility in Thenus spp. Understanding how gender and fertility are controlled in this lobster species will allow development of technologies to exploit desired commercial traits such as reproductive sterility (for genetic protection). Such technologies will facilitate rapid uptake of commercial culture of this high-value species in Australia and establishment of international markets.
