ABSTRACT = {The pigmentation of fish and crustaceans
constitutes a vital component of aquatic ecosystems. A thorough understanding of
the genetic mechanisms that underpin the synthesis pathways of these pigments
is essential. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of the gene and
genome duplications that have been identified as significant factors influencing
the evolutionary trajectories of pigment production pathways in both fish and
crustaceans. Through a systematic examination of the genes, enzymes, and
regulatory networks involved in pigment production, researchers have elucidated
the intricate processes that govern the development, arrangement, and
expression of pigmentation traits in various fish and crustacean species. The
evolution of these pigment production pathways has revealed the intricate
composition of coloration in fish and crustaceans, which encompasses a diverse
array of pigments, including structural colors, carotenoids, and melanins. Furthermore,
the application of machine learning algorithms and network analysis techniques offers
a valuable approach to enhancing the understanding of the cellular dynamics and
interactions that influence pigmentation in these organisms. The insights
gained from this research may have significant implications for improving the sustainability
of aquaculture, informing conservation strategies, and fostering advancements in
biotechnology and biomimicry.},
