Line breeding and inbreeding is the same thing. Selective breeding also falls into the category of "inbreeding" also.
While line breeding may involve a certain amount of inbreeding to fix certain traits, they are not exactly the same thing. In a controlled line breeding program quite often fish that are removed by more than 1 generation are bred, such as "cousins" with would mean that those fish shared a common ancestor. (grandparent) Also, at some point introducing unrelated fish with similar desirable traits/genes (outcrossing) also generally takes place within most linebreeding programs.
A good read by a breeder on inbreeding, outcrossing, and line breeding.
