摘要
本文综述了甲壳动物的性别决定机理及外界因素对性别分化的影响。绝大多数甲壳动物没有明显的性染色体 ,促雄腺被认为是甲壳动物性别分化的最主要的决定因子 ,其作用已得到了广泛的证明。由于甲壳动物幼体在早期发育过程中具有向两性发育的潜能 ,促雄腺可以决定个体未来发育的性别 ,并且通过人为摘除或移植促雄腺的方法可以使性别已经分化的个体发生性逆转 ,从而改变幼体的性别。虽然甲壳动物的性别是由遗传决定的 ,但外界的因素比如寄生、光周期、温度或激素可以改变其性比 ,其中以寄生的影响研究比较多 ,并认为是影响某些甲壳动物性别分化的主要外界因子。由于大多数养殖的甲壳动物雌雄性之间有体重和体长的差异 ,在水产养殖中可以利用这些特征进行全雌或全雄种苗的生产 ,以提高产量和效益。
The mechanisms of sex determination and the influence of exogenous factors on sex differentiation in crustacean were reviewed in the paper.Most of crustecea have not obviously sex chromosome.Androgenic gland was reported as the most important sex differentiation factors,implanting or cuting AG can change the sexal characterization of larval in crustacean.Although sex differentiation of crustacean is determined by gene,it is affected by exogenous factors such as parasite,photoperiod,temperature or hormone.Most cultured species have different body weight and length between male and female,this can be used in aquaculture to produce all male or female crusteceans to improve the production.
