Estimates of phenotypic and genetic parameters for live Performance and detaiied dissection traits of bodycomponents and carcass tissues in Pekin ducks were calculated and used to construct selection indexes. Theexpected reduction in potential gain in live weight, dressing percentage and carcass characteristics resulting fromrestricting change in subcutaneous fat level to zero were assessed. The aggregate genotype measurements wereweight at slaughter, dressing percentage and percent subcutaneous fat. The index measurements were weight athatching, weight at slaughter, weight gain, breast width, breast length and breast circumference.The restricted indexes as compared with the unrestricted would lead to minimum reduction in potential gain of29.4% in total net merit, 96.4% in weight at slaughter, 49.0% in dressing percentage, 74.0% in dissected sideweight and 75.0% in muscle to bone ratio. The potential reduction in percent abdominal fat and percent bone inside was decreased by at least 38.5% and 80.2%, respectively. Absolute genetic response results showed thatselecting for breast width alone (r<sub>TI</sub> = 0.79) would be recommended for birds with substandard levels of SCF,whereas use of the restricted index containing weight at hatching and breast width (r<sub>TI</sub> = 0.54) would be advisedfor individuals with Standard fatness
