Abstract

Abstract:

In order to study the phenotypic characteristics of red claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus von Martens) in different growth stages, nine phenotypic traits including body weight (Y₁), hepatopancreas weight (Y₂), full-length (X₁), cephalothorax length (X₂), cephalothorax width (X₃), total abdominal segment length (X₄), first abdominal segment length (X₅), first abdominal segment width (X₆), propodite length (X₇) in three growth stages of 3 months, 4.5 months and 6 months were measured and analyzed. The differences of the phenotypic traits in the three stages were compared, and the correlations of the phenotypic traits in different growth stages were analyzed. Multiple regression equations of phenotypic traits to body weight of male and female red claw crayfish populations in different growth stages were constructed to measure the relevance of phenotypic traits and body weight. The results showed that the proportion of cephalothorax or abdominal segments to full-length remained the same in juvenile and adult stage, while the width index increased significantly (P<0.05) at 6 months of age. With the growth of red claw crayfish, the correlations among the majority of the traits decreased, and the differences in phenotypic characteristics between male and female populations gradually increased. The regression equation in 3 months of age was Y₁=-31.33+0.73X₂+0.91X₃. The regression equation in 4.5 months of age was Y₁=-65.25+1.29X₃+0.89X₄+1.46X₆ for female and Y₁=-69.67+1.17X₃+0.40X₇+1.77X₆+0.59X₄ for male, respectively. The regression equation in 6 months of age was Y₁=-79.77+1.01X₁-1.89X₆+1.15X₇ for female and Y₁=-98.02+0.72X₁+1.22X₇ for male, respectively. These results could provide theoretical basis for the selective breeding of red claw crayfish.
