Cost-benefit analysis of aquaculture breeding programs

TL;DR: The baseline breeding program was profitable after 5 years and reached a net present value of 2.9 million euro in year 10, and the optimum number of selection candidates increased with the length of the time horizon and production output, so avoiding the use of a multiplier tier will increase the profitability of the breeding program in the short term.
