THE PACIFIC SALMON WARS: What Science Brings to the Challenge of Recovering Species (2002, background): “…effects of fishing on life history traits—most notably, size-selectivity on adults and resultant reductions in fecundity (Healey 1986; Ricker 1995; Weitkamp et al. 1995; Ratner & Lande 2001; Hard 2002a,b)—can significantly impair population dynamics in ways that are difficult to quantify.”
LONG-TERM TREND IN THE MATURATION REACTION NORM OF TWO COD STOCKS (2004, background): “The second explanation for the trend in A50 and L50 is that high fishing rates could also cause genetic decreases in age and size at maturation, because fishing always alters the pattern of size- and age-dependent mortality (Rijnsdorp 1993a, Law 2000, Stokes and Law 2000, Ratner and Lande 2001).”
MARINE RESERVE DESIGN AND THE EVOLUTION OF SIZE AT MATURATION IN HARVESTED FISH (2005, background): “…Law 1988, Conover and Munch 2002), and theoretical (e.g., Rijnsdrop 1993b, Rowell 1993, Stokes and Blythe 1993, Kaitala and Getz 1995, Heino 1998, Ratner and Lande 2001) evidence show that size-selective fishing mortality results in rapid evolution toward earlier maturation in harvested species.”
