Abstract Let M be a closed orientable 3-manifold and let Vol(M) denote its Gromov simplicial volume. This paper is devoted to the study of sequences of non-zero degree maps f i :M→N i to Haken manifolds. We prove that any sequence of Haken manifolds (Ni,fi), satisfying limi→∞deg(fi)×Vol(Ni)=Vol(M) is finite up to homeomorphism. As an application, we deduce from this fact that any closed orientable 3-manifold with zero Gromov simplicial volume and in particular any graph manifold dominates at most finitely many Haken 3-manifolds.
