Abstract excerpt
Resistance heritability (the additive genetic variance out of the total phenotypic variance, signifying a population's potential to genetically adapt to detrimental levels of contamination) was quantified in the sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus). Heritability was estimated for tolerance to individual contaminants (phenanthrene, zinc) and to contaminant mixtures (phenanthrene plus zinc, and a complex...
