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

This study reports the first estimation of genetic parameters for chronic thermal tolerance in C. gigas and indicates that this trait is heritable and selective breeding for thermal tolerance is a feasible and promising approach to reduce summer mortality.PMID:37968426 | DOI:10.1007/s13353-023-00806-3
