ABSTRACT: The prerequisite for monosex culture is to elucidate the molecular mechanism of sex determination and differentiation in crustaceans, as well as to explore the key genes that play a role in this process. Monosex culture technology based on crustacean economic species is of great importance in terms of genetic breeding and economic benefits of aquaculture. As a result, study into the mechanisms of sex determination and differentiation in crustaceans not only contributes to the current absence of basic theories of crustacean sexual mechanism, but also encourages technical innovation in aquaculture to increase overall economic efficiency. This study synthesizes and evaluates available research on sex determination and differentiation in crustaceans, and then provides recommendations for future research objectives and priorities in the field.
