Abstract excerpt
Trait-selective harvesting by fisheries can impose strong selective pressures on fish populations, driving changes in life-history traits affecting fisheries' productivity and ecosystem functioning. Although the genetic consequences of harvesting have been extensively studied, the extent to which phenotypic variation reflects genomic evolution versus environmentally induced plasticity remains unclear. Epigenetic...
