To date there is no available information on the underlying biochemical and genetic mechanisms that control gender and fertility in Thenus spp. Understanding how gender and fertility are controlled in this lobster species will allow development of technologies to exploit desired commercial traits such as reproductive sterility (for genetic protection). Such technologies will facilitate rapid uptake of commercial culture of this high-value species in Australia and establishment of international markets.

到目前为止，没有可用的信息的基础生化和遗传机制，控制性别和生育能力的Thenus属。了解这种龙虾物种的性别和生育力是如何控制的，将有助于开发利用所需商业性状的技术，如生殖不育（用于遗传保护）。这些技术将有助于在澳大利亚迅速吸收这种高价值物种的商业养殖，并建立国际市场。
