Over the past decades, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Salmonidae) has emerged as a model
system for sexual maturation research, owing to the high diversity of life history strategies …

While the impacts of high exploitation on fish populations and aquatic ecosystems are well-
documented for commercial fishing, particularly in the marine environment, the potential …

Evidence of the impacts of anthropogenic climate change on marine ecosystems is
accumulating, but must be evaluated in the context of the “normal” climate cycles and …

Early in the 20th century, Johan Hjort developed compelling arguments and hypotheses to
explain recruitment variability that became dominant for more than 75 years. A cautious …

Humans cause widespread evolutionary change in nature, but we still know little about the
genomic basis of rapid adaptation in the Anthropocene. We tracked genomic changes …

Thermal preference and performance provide the physiological frame within which fish
species seek strategies to cope with the challenges raised by the low temperatures and low …

The possibility for fishery-induced evolution of life history traits is an important but
unresolved issue for exploited fish populations. Because fisheries tend to select and remove …

Age and size at maturation have declined dramatically in many commercial fish stocks over
the past few decades–changes that have been widely attributed to fishing pressure. We …

Many collapsed fish populations have failed to recover after a decade or more with little
fishing. This may reflect evolutionary change in response to the highly selective mortality …

Recently, the importance of the female to population dynamics—especially her non‐genetic
contribution to offspring fitness or maternal effect—has received much attention in studies of …
