While [[evolutionary computation]] mainly treats the population as a whole, an equivalent approach is to separate from the current population those individuals that will have children. These are placed into a ''mating pool''. That is, [[fitness (genetic algorithm)|fitness]] selection is performed separately before genetic operations. Children are created from parents chosen only from the mating pool.
