In family-based genetic improvement programs, mate allocation is a process whereby selected parents (or in some cases families) are allocated to mating pairs prior to a spawning event. Mating pairs are then crossed to produce next-generation families of known pedigree.PDFCC-BY-NC-4.0treeselective breeding programno povertyzero hungerlife below watermate allocationwright’s inbreeding coefficientassortative matingparent selectionoutcrossing speciesFishReport
