• Relative importance of family, site, and field placement timing on survival, growth, and yield of hatchery-produced Pacific oyster spat (Crassostrea gigas) (2005, unknown): “These observations are in agreement with the results recently published by Langdon et al. (2003), where significant genotype x environment interactions were found indicating a large variability for yield among families and among sites.”
• Summer mortality of hatchery-produced Pacific oyster spat (Crassostrea gigas). II. Response to selection for survival and its influence on growth and yield (2010, background): “Response to selection: Prior to the present study, realized heritability in shellfish had mostly been determined for growth-related traits, such as total weight, length or yield, and suggested that rapid genetic gains would be possible for these traits through selective breeding (Toro and Newkirk, 1”
• Heritability of shell pigmentation in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas☆ (2009, methodology): “In April 2002, we stripspawned 52 individuals within a 48 h period as per Langdon et al. (2003) and paired them randomly to create 26 unrelated full-sib families.”
• The effects of inbreeding on performance traits of adult Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) (2004, methodology): “Adult Pacific oysters (C. gigas) from nine pedigreed families were crossed in a 99 half-factorial matrix at the Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC), Newport, OR, as per Langdon et al. (2003) to produce a total of 41 families.”
• Selection response and realized heritability for growth in three stocks of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas (2011, background): “Langdon et al. [ 12 ] estimated that the realized heritability of average family live weight ranged from 0.01 to 0.50 in family selection.”
• Genetically based resistance to summer mortality in the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) and its relationship with physiological, immunological characteristics and infection processes (2007, background): “Landgon et al. (2003) reported that yield is a heritable trait, but without distinguishing the relative influence of survival and growth.”
• Improvements in desirable traits of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, as a result of five generations of selection on the West Coast, USA (2016, unknown): “Typically, two replicate grow-out containers were randomly placed within each of four or five blocks that were positioned across different tidal heights at inter-tidal sites or at different depths at sub-tidal sites (Langdon et al. 2003).”
• Summer mortality of hatchery-produced Pacific oyster spat (Crassostrea gigas). I. Estimation of genetic parameters for survival and growth (2007, background): “Langdon et al. (2003) demonstrated a positive response to selection for yield with realized heritability ranging from 0.01 to 0.50, indicating that yield can be improved by genetic selection.”
