Deriving breeding goals and expected selection responses to reduce environmental impacts in rainbow trout farming
We demonstrated the benefits of using environmental values in breeding goals to minimize environmental impacts at the farm level, while maintaining high genetic gains in feed efficiency traits. Nevertheless, we also showed that selection efficiency was highly dependent of the impact category. Our results suggested that another selection strategy should be considered to avoid unfavourable consequences on SR.
