Increased mortality from fishing is expected to favor faster life histories, realized through
earlier maturation, increased reproductive investment, and reduced postmaturation growth …

Investigating the factors regulating fish condition is crucial in ecology and the management
of exploited fish populations. The body condition of cod (Gadus morhua) in the Baltic Sea …

How does warming affect maturation and reproductive investment in ectotherms? Younger
age and smaller size at maturation, as well as altered reproduction processes, have been …

Managing fisheries resources to maintain healthy ecosystems is one of the main goals of the
ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF). While a number of international treaties call for the …

Evidence is accumulating that many marine ectotherms are undergoing rapid changes in
their life‐history characteristics. These changes have been variously attributed to fisheries …

The relative roles of density dependence and life history evolution in contributing to rapid
fisheries-induced trait changes remain debated. In the 1930s, northeast Arctic cod (Gadus …

Trait evolution over time periods spanning generations, not millennia, is increasingly
observed to be above the natural baseline in populations experiencing human-induced …

Over the past 3 decades, N orth Sea A tlantic cod (G adus morhua) have exhibited variable
length‐at‐age along with declines in spawning stock biomass and timing of maturity …

Changes in the onset of sexual maturation, reproductive investment and growth of North Sea
plaice are studied between three periods: 1900s, 1980s and 2000s. Probabilistic maturation …
