Reversal of evolutionary downsizing caused by selective harvest of large fish
Top \ Marine Conservation
David O. Conover, Stephan B. Munch1 and Stephen A. Arnott (PDF)

Evolutionary responses to the long-termexploitation of individuals from a population may include reduced growth rate, age at maturation, body size and productivity. Theoretical models suggest that these genetic changes may be slow or impossible to reverse but rigorous empirical evidence is lacking. Here, we provide the first empirical demonstration of a genetically based reversal of fishing-induced evolution. We subjected... [More]
