Temperature tolerance is an important trait from both an economic and evolutionary perspective in fish. Because of difficulties with measurements, genome-wide selection using quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting Upper temperature tolerance may be an alternative for genetic improvement. Turbot Sc...
