TABLE 1.

Factors investigated in the simulated breeding program.

Factor	Levels
Genotyping of fish in a commercial environment (C)	[Random genotyping]; selective genotyping of top fish; selective genotyping of top and bottom fish at two intensities (T1_1B1_1 and T1_2B1_2)
Genotyping of fish in a breeding environment (B)	Random genotyping; [selective genotyping of top fish]; selective genotyping of top and bottom fish at using different numbers of top fish (T1_2B1_2 and T3_4B1_4)
Genetic correlation rg between trait records obtained in B and C (rg)	[0.2; 0.5; 0.8]
Heritability h2 of the trait (h2)	[0.1; 0.3]
Proportion of genotyping allocated to fish in C (%)	0; [20]; 40; 60
Proportion of selected females kept in 2 consecutive years (%)	11; [100]

Square brackets indicate the levels used in the base scenarios.
