Abstract excerpt
Genetic responses of oysters to specific environments underpin adaptation and evolutionary potential, which can be leveraged through breeding to improve outcomes. Shell traits strongly influence both survival and market value in the half-shell market. Using novel trait phenotyping methods, the heritability, genetics-by-environment interactions, and potential surrogate traits for shell integrity (hardness,...
