Aquatic animals live in the ever-changing water environment and are constantly affected by it.As a poithermic animal with an open hemlymphatic system,Litopenaeus vannamei is more likely to be affected negatively by changes of water environment compared to fish and other aquatic vertebrates.In general,L.vannamei can respond to environmental stress at different levels through various measures such as active avoidance,physical barrier,neuroendocrine regulation and stress signaling pathways.In recent years,with the development of molecular biology,especially a variety of omics technologies,great progress has been made in the study of environmental stress response signaling pathways of L.vannamei,and the molecular mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum stress(ER-stress)response and oxidative stress response have been preliminically revealed.In this study,we will focus on recent advances in the research of some important environmental stress response signaling pathways in L.vannamei,and discuss the shortcomings and future directions of these pathways.
