AI Technical Summary
Existing redclaw crayfish varieties have low intraspecific variation and lack commercially significant differentiated varieties, resulting in fewer breeding of distinctive new varieties.
A new red-clawed crayfish variety was bred by hybridizing parental lines, performing one-line inbreeding, and performing two-line inbreeding. The specific steps included hybridizing male yellow-bellied red-clawed crayfish with female common red-clawed crayfish, then inbreeding yellow-bellied red-clawed crayfish, and finally homologous mating of red-clawed crayfish. Water quality and feeding conditions were controlled to cultivate a completely red variety.
A new red swamp crayfish variety with excellent growth performance has been bred, enriching the variety of distinctive red swamp crayfish. It has significant commercial traits and is suitable for widespread aquaculture.
