Implications of fisheries‐induced evolution for population recovery: Refocusing the science and refining its communication

JA Hutchings, A Kuparinen - Fish and Fisheries, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The argument that sufficiently high fishing mortality (selective or not) can effect genetic
change in fished populations has gained considerable traction since the late 1970s. The …

Toward a mechanistic understanding of vulnerability to hook‐and‐line fishing: Boldness as the basic target of angling‐induced selection

T Klefoth, C Skov, A Kuparinen… - Evolutionary …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
In passively operated fishing gear, boldness‐related behaviors should fundamentally affect
