Abstract
Background: Genomic selection is a selection method where effects of dense genetic markers
are first estimated in a test population and later used to predict breeding values of selection
candidates. The aim of this paper was to investigate genetic gains, inbreeding and the accuracy of
selection in a general genomic selection scheme for aquaculture, where the test population consists
of sibs of the candidates.
Methods: The selection scheme started after simulating 4000 generations in a Fisher-Wrig
