Use of laboratory assays to predict subsequent growth and survival of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) families planted in coastal waters
2010-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Selective breeding programs for improving Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) stocks are expensive, labor-intensive, and typically rely on lengthy field trials in which selection for survival is compromised by inherent stochasticity of outbreaks of “summer mortality syndrome.” Reliable laboratory assays that identify and eliminate poor-performing families prior to planting could improve selection efficiency. We tes...
