Influences of Size-Selective Harvesting on Growth Characteristics and Associated Gene Expression Patterns in Marine Medaka (Oryzias melastigma).

Abstract excerpt

Fisheries-induced evolution (FIE) poses a critical threat to global fisheries sustainability, but the molecular mechanisms that translate harvesting pressure into rapid, heritable trait changes remain largely unknown. Here, using a multi-generational experimental evolution approach with the marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma), we investigated divergence under different size-selective harvesting regimes. We...
