Heritability of chronic thermal tolerance and genetic correlations with growth traits in the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas).

Abstract excerpt

The increasing seawater temperature during summer months frequently results in severe mortalities in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas around the world, becoming one of the most significant problems challenging the oyster farming industry. In northern China, significant recurrent summer losses of C. gigas have occurred, and its impact on oyster aquaculture has increased in recent years. Selective breeding for...
