Abstract
We adapted an existing statistical control method in an innovative way to estimate genetic parameters for growth traits in abalone, without individual tagging or DNA markers. This method facilitates the transition from simple family selection programs to combined selection programs by providing the necessary inputs for bio-economic modelling to inform the design of more advanced breeding programs.
