Logistic curves fitted to the predicted survival for Perna canaliculus of different ages (6, 8, 10 and 52 weeks post-fertilisation) and six genetically diverse families (A-F). Mussels were exposed to a 3-h thermal challenge followed by recovery for 44 h at 18 °C (6, 8 and 10 weeks old mussels) or 14 days (52 weeks old mussels) at 19 °C. Solid coloured points represent observed survival rates during the experiment, while solid coloured lines and shaded areas represent the mean and 95% Percentile Interval (PI) of the posterior distribution of the survival model, respectively. Dashed black line demarks the 50% probability of survival.
