Optimised parent selection and minimum inbreeding mating in small aquaculture breeding schemes: a simulation study

The effectiveness of low cost breeding scheme designs for small aquaculture breeding programmes were assessed for their ability to achieve genetic gain while managing inbreeding using stochastic simulation. Individuals with trait data were simulated over 15 generations with selection on a single tra...
