Here we explored the hypothesis that individual variation in thermal tolerance in the European sea bass is associated with other key performance traits involved in determining individual Darwinian fitness. Our finding that whole animal temperature tolerance positively correlates with cardiac size could suggest selection on the cardiorespiratory system may benefit thermal tolerance.
