Physiological response and transcriptomics study of three Litopenaeus vannamei populations to alkaline stress and recovery

Key Points

• Physiological response to alkaline stress varied significantly among the three Litopenaeus vannamei populations, indicating genetic diversity.
• The study measured key transcriptomic changes, with specific genes showing altered expression levels following alkaline exposure.
• Assessment using transcriptomics techniques identified key pathways involved in stress response and recovery mechanisms.
• Findings highlight the potential for selective breeding programs to enhance stress tolerance in shrimp aquaculture.
