Evolutionary biology: The cod that got away
Jeffrey A. Hutchings1
Abstract
Commercial fishing can reduce the age and size at which fish mature. But it has been unclear whether this reflects changes in genes or in physical responses to the environment. A look at Atlantic cod provides an answer.
Can fisheries be thought of as uncontrolled experiments in evolution? In other words, do they produce genetic change?
