Effects of miR-143 and its target receptor 5-HT2B on agonistic behavior in the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis)
Abstract Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) as a commercially important species is widely cultured in China. However, E. sinensis is prone to agonistic behavior, which causes physical damage and wastes energy resources, negatively impacting their growth and survival. Therefore, understanding t...
