Table 1 Summary statistics and heritabilies for the phenotypes used in this study

Trait	Sample Size^†	Mean (SD)	Heritability (SE) [29]
Harvest Weight	1524	2.57 (0.63)	0.52 (0.05)
Gutted Weight	1616	2.35 (0.58)	0.53 (0.05)
Gutted Yield	1447	0.92 (0.02)	0.04 (0.01)
Deheaded Weight	1604	2.06 (0.52)	0.52 (0.05)
Fillet Weight	1516	1.70 (0.42)	0.53 (0.05)
Fillet Yield	1363	0.66 (0.04)	0.05 (0.02)
Fat Percentage	1679	12.2 (5.58)	0.18 (0.03)
Fillet Colour	1322	29.0 (0.73)	0.14 (0.03)
Head Weight	1475	0.32 (0.08)	0.21 (0.03)^a
Gut Weight	1447	0.42 (0.08)	0.30 (0.04)^a
Body Waste Weight	1426	0.33 (0.12)	0.15 (0.02)^a
Total Waste Weight	1422	0.65 (0.17)	0.32 (0.04)^a

Gut weight (kg) = harvest weight - gutted weight; Head weight (kg) = gutted weight - deheaded weight
Waste weight (kg) = deheaded weight - fillet weight (weight of vertebrae and caudal fin); Total waste weight (kg) = head weight + body waste weight
^aThe heritability was estimated in this study and the used population was the same as Tsai et al. [32]
^†: Only the number of individuals used in the calculation is shown, after removal of missing data
