Physiological Genomic Responses to variable Salinity Environments by the Tiger Shrimp (Penaeus monodon)

Masters Thesis: Osmoregulation is considered as the principal mechanisms for survival and adaptation to different salinity conditions. The present study was conducted to evaluate mRNA expression levels of six osmoregulatory (two hemolymph regulatory and four ion regulatory) genes that play important role in osmoregulation in a Penaeid shrimp, Penaeus monodon, exposed to different experimental salinity levels for a period of 60 days, using an RT-qPCR approach. This thesis also investigated salinity inducted changes in the body fluid (hemolymph) concentrations in tiger shrimp.
