Selective breeding is a widely used method that improves both the productivity and product quality of domestic animals. European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) is a new species in food fish farming; it has only been farmed for a few generations. With selective breeding, the characteristics of the partly wild whitefish can be improved for farming purposes. The project formulates an efficient whitefish breeding programme that offers optimal financial benefit. The heritability values of different production parameters and product qualities are studied, and their significance for different agents in the value chain is assessed. With the help of the programme, it is possible to make breeding decisions based on the characteristics that give the highest benefit to the whole value chain: from primary production to the fish shop.
