Abstract

Abstract. Molting is a very important growth period in shrimp. During the intermolt cycle, the accumulations of carbohydrate protein provide steady growth. The molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH) and the crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) belong to a large neuropeptide family, which are involved in the regulation of the length of the intermolt period, keeping shrimp in the intermolt stage (GU et al., 2000; YODMUANG et al., 2004). There are two kinds of MIH (MIH1 and MIH2) and one CHH. Therefore, the MIH1, MIH2 and CHH genes are candidate genes for detecting polymorphisms associated with the molting pathway and growth
