We have designed a pioneer turbot breeding program in Korea and simulated it with various genetic parameters based on the heritability of 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4. In order to get the optimal genetic gains and to make the program efficient, we have decided that the total family numbers should be at least 100 and the minimum individuals from each family should be more than 50. We present the simulation results to illustrate a newly designed turbot breeding grams in Korea.
