Effect of inbreeding on performance and genetic parameters of growth and survival traits in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas at larval stage

The occurrence of inbreeding over generations cannot be avoided in breeding practice because of limited effective population sizes, and inbreeding is expected to decrease the heritability within populations. The Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) is the most widely cultured shellfish species worldwi...
