Abstract
Breeding program to improve economically important growth traits in striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) requires effective molecular markers. This study was conducted to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein 7 (IGFBP7) gene which plays multiple roles in regulating growth, energy metabolism and development. The association between SNPs in IGFBP7 gene and growth traits in striped catfish was analyzed in order to uncover the SNPs that have potential to be valuable markers for improving growth traits. Firstly, fragments of IGFBP7 gene from ten fast-growing fish and ten slow-growing fish were sequenced in order to discover SNPs. After filtering the detected SNPs, an intronic SNP (2060A > G) and two non-synonymous SNPs (344 T > C and 4559C > A) causing Leu78Pro and Leu189Met in protein, respectively, were subjected to further validated by individual genotyping in 70 fast-growing fish and 70 slow-growing fish using single base extension method. Our results showed that two SNPs (2060A > G and 4559 C > A (p. Leu189Met)) were significantly associated with the growth in P. hypophthalmus (p < 0.001), thus being candidate SNP markers for the growth traits of this fish. Moreover, linkage disequilibrium and association analysis with growth traits of haplotypes generated from the 3 filtered SNPs (344 T > C, 2060 A > G and 4559 C > A) were examined. These revealed that the non-coding SNP locus (2060A > G) had higher genetic diversity at which the G allele was predominant over the A allele in the fast-growing fish. Furthermore, the results of qPCR showed that expression of IGFBP7 gene with genotype GG (at locus 2060) in fast-growing group was significantly higher than that with genotype AA in slow-growing group (p < 0.05). Our study provides insights into the genetic variants of IGFBP7 gene and useful data source for development molecular marker for growth traits in breeding of the striped catfish.

Abstract
The European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) is a marine fish of key economic and cultural importance in Europe. It is now more an aquaculture than a fisheries species (>96% of the production in 2016), although modern rearing techniques date back only from the late 1980s. It also has high interest for evolutionary studies, as it is composed of two semispecies (Atlantic and Mediterranean lineages) that have come into secondary contact following the last glaciation. Based on quantitative genetics studies of most traits of interest over the past 10–15 years, selective breeding programs are now applied to this species, which is at the beginning of its domestication process. The availability of a good quality reference genome has accelerated the development of new genomic resources, including SNP arrays that will enable genomic selection to improve genetic gain. There is a need to improve feed efficiency, both for economic and environmental reasons, but this will require novel phenotyping approaches. Further developments will likely focus on the understanding of genotype‐by‐environment interactions, which will be important both for efficient breeding of farmed stocks and for improving knowledge of the evolution of natural populations. At the interface between both, the domestication process must be better understood to improve production and also to fully evaluate the possible impact of aquaculture escapees on wild populations. The latter is an important question for all large‐scale aquaculture productions.
