Fish with quick growth and high meat yield would be bred more often.

In a controlled indoor system environmental stresses (temperature, salinity) are managed, so tolerance to wide ranges is less important. The priority shifts to production traits—faster growth, better feed conversion, and higher meat yield—to maximize output and profitability in the constrained, managed environment.
