Synthesis of transcriptomic studies reveals a core response to heat stress in abalone (genus Haliotis).

ABSTRACT:

Background

As climate change causes marine heat waves to become more intense and frequent, marine species increasingly suffer from heat stress. This stress can result in reduced growth, disrupted breeding cycles, vulnerability to diseases and pathogens, and increased mortality rates. Abalone (genus Haliotis) are an ecologically significant group of marine gastropods and are among the most highly valued seafood products. However, heat stress events have had devastating impacts on both farmed and wild populations. Members of this genus are among the most susceptible marine species to climate change impacts, with over 40% of all abalone species listed as threatened with extinction. This has motivated researchers to explore the genetics linked to heat stress in abalone. A substantial p
