Application of genomic tools to study and potentially improve the upper thermal tolerance of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
These analyses provide several putative biomarkers of upper thermal tolerance in salmon that could prove valuable in helping the industry develop more temperature-tolerant fish. Further, our study supports previous reports that IT<sub>Max</sub> has low/moderate heritability in this species, and suggests that TGC at elevated temperatures is highly heritable.
