Sustainable harvesting of marine resources: interactions between demographic, ecological and evolutionary effects of fishing

Fishing does not affect all fish equally. Evolutionary changes ensue whenever there are survival differences between genotypes. As fishing is often intensive, the resulting changes can be rapid. Recent work suggests that significant evolutionary changes i n maturation are common in the wild and h...
