at least 50 mating pairs in a same spawning time, growing up each family separately and select the 10 best families for next generation spawning

within family selection
at least 50 mating pairs, not necessary in a same spawning time, growing up each family separately and select the best pairs in each family for next crosses spawning.

combined selection
at least 50 mating pairs in a same spawning time, growing up each family separately and select the best pairs in 10 best families for next crosses spawning.

tandem selection
different batch selected at different time

independent culling level (ICL)
