Of predicted traits, only that for fillet weight showed a heritability with the potential of utilising the information on the selection candidate itself (h2 = 0.10).
None of the estimation methods for genomic breeding values included the own CAND-phenotype of the selection candidate directly, but the information was included in the estimation by including the selection candidate in the reference population for CAND.
In scenario (1), OP, no phenotypic information was assumed to be available on sibs of the selection candidate.
However, the method based on selection index theory estimates accuracy per individual and this accuracy depended on the relationships of the selection candidate with the reference individuals.
Accuracies of EBV (r EBV ) were calculated based on the selection index theory and coefficients for regressing the aggregated genotype of the selection candidate on phenotypic measurements of informants were derived using two different methods.
The DNA pooling further avoids pedigree recording, as is the case in traditional family-based designs, in the test-population, and the dense SNP genotyping also achieves this in the selection candidate groups.

Pre-selecting 100% of the selection candidates is equivalent to omitting pre-selection and genotyping all candidates and test-individuals.
In this case, the selection candidates are housed individually and they are selected based on the information of relatives kept in family groups (Ellen et al. 2007).
A trait measured on the selection candidates themselves.
A trait measured on full-sibs of the selection candidates.
However, we still require genotyping of the selection candidates.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
