Physiological and Tissue-Specific Transcriptomic Responses to Cold Stress in Hybrid Grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × E. lanceolatus)
The hybrid grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × E. lanceolatus) is a high-value aquaculture species with limited cold tolerance in temperate regions such as South Korea. Two complementary temperature experiments were conducted. In Experiment I, smaller juveniles (33.9 ± 10.2 g) were subjected to water temperatures (20,...
