摘要: Portunus trituberculatus is one of the main mariculture crabs in China and has obvious sexual dimorphism. The development of a genetic sex identification method is key to clarifying the mechanisms of sex determination. Based on an insertion-deletion (inDel) marker closely linked to the sex of P. trituberculatus, we successfully established a sex identification method with the advantages of high efficiency, low cost and low false-positive rates using conventional PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis. Based on the method, the sex ratio of seven full-sib families at different developmental stages were analyzed, including zoea, megalopa and II juvenile crab. Our results showed that the sex ratio of P. trituberculatus in early development stages approximated the theoretical sex ratio (1:1) of the XY sex determination system, although there were three families with sex ratio deviations from 1:1 at the juvenile stage. This study is important for detailing the mechanisms of sex determination, and is also conducive to the development of sex-control technologies in this species.
