Inferring parentage relationships can be a useful tool for genetic improvement in aquaculture, explain Martínez (veterinarian genetics, U. de Santiago de Compostela, Spain) and Fernández (animal genetics, Instituto Nacional de Investigación Tecnologie Agraria y Alime), because it allows organizing broodstock into groups with low relatedness and identifying families in selection programs. Thus the harmful effects of inbreeding can be avoided and the highest genetic diversity as possible can be maintained across generations. But the choice of an appropriate genetic marker and the statistical methodology is essential to get the best results. They describe properties of various genetic markers and their potential for relatedness analysis, survey and evaluate different statistical methodology, and discuss paternity analysis and kinship estimation.
