one allele comes from mom and another from dad, making it impossible to produce supers with two codom salmons in with a normal female. Or whatever other mutation combination can be had from multiple males bred to a single female.

Example - Super Salmon and a Codom Salmon are in with a normal female. If both males were to fertilize the female, this would lower the salmon to normal ratio. The codom salmon has a 50 percent normal to 50 percent hypo sperm ratio. The mother adds no mutations. Breeding the supersalmon alone, wtih a 100 percent hypo to normal sperm ratio, would produce more salmons with the normal female. No supers would be possible without the female being a hypo herself.
