Overview

Investigates the effects of coconut meat on growth and nutritional quality in Chinese mitten crabs, suggesting its benefits as a feed ingredient.

Key Points

  • This research aims to assess the impact of coconut meat supplementation on the growth and nutritional profiles of Chinese mitten crabs.
  • Compared growth performance of crabs on coconut meat vs. control diet.
  • Analyzed amino acid and fatty acid profiles in tissue samples.
  • Conducted transcriptomic sequencing to investigate molecular mechanisms.
  • Performed KEGG enrichment analysis on differentially expressed genes (DEGs).
  • Female crabs on coconut diet showed higher condition factor values.
  • Increased lauric acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids in gonadal tissues.
  • Higher levels of flavor-related amino acids in muscle of male crabs.
  • Enhanced antioxidant capacity measured by GPx, CAT, and T-AOC values.
  • Identified 4,380 DEGs in females related to metabolic pathways.
