Fishing-induced evolution (FIE) threatens the ecology, resilience, and economic value of fish
populations. Traits under selection, and mechanisms of selection, can be influenced by …

Simple Summary In recent decades, societies, states and local authorities have become
increasingly aware that for effective long-term management and protection of aquatic …

As selection acts on multivariate phenotypes, the evolution of traits within populations not
only depends on the genetic basis of each trait, but also on the genetic relationships among …

Eurasian perch Perca fluviatilis has been a popular model species for decades in the fields
of aquatic ecology, community dynamics, behaviour, physiology and ecotoxicology. Yet …

Introduction Effective fisheries management requires monitoring and quantifying changes in
exploited fish communities. Concerns about global fisheries sustainability have led to …

Research on among individual variation in behavior has increased rapidly in recent years. It
is intuitively appealing that variation in the behavior of individuals has ecological …

Stock assessments serve to monitor the condition of fish stocks and exploit them sustainably
but require accurate data such as growth and mortality rates as input parameters. Most …

Size-selective mortality is common in fish populations and can operate either in a positive
size-selective fashion by harvesting larger-than-average fish or be negatively size-selective …

The assessment of fish stocks is often dependent on scientific trawl fisheries surveys, which
are both invasive and costly. The analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) from water …

Conserving intraspecific trait variation is vital for maintaining the viability of species. It
ensures a species to adapt to warming and increasingly stochastic environments, and to …
