Overharvesting is a serious threat to many fish populations. High mortality and directional selection on body size can cause evolutionary change in exploited populations via selection for a specific phenotype and a potential reduction in phenotypic diversity. Whether the loss of phenotypic diversity that accompanies directional selection impairs response to environmental stress is not known. To address this question, we exposed three zebrafish selection lines to thermal stress. Two lines had experienced directional selection for (1) large and (2) small body size, and one was (3) subject to random removal of individuals with respect to body size (i.e. line with no directional selection). Selection lines were exposed to three temperatures (elevated, 34°C; ambient, 28°C; low, 22°C) to determine the response to an environmental stressor (thermal stress). We assessed differences among selection lines in their life history (growth and reproduction), physiological traits (metabolic rate and critical thermal max) and behaviour (activity and feeding behaviour) when reared at different temperatures. Lines experiencing directional selection (i.e. size selected) showed reduced growth rate and a shift in average phenotype in response to lower or elevated thermal stress compared with fish from the random-selected line. Our data indicate that populations exposed to directional selection can have a more limited capacity to respond to thermal stress compared with fish that experience a comparable reduction in population size (but without directional selection). Future studies should aim to understand the impacts of environmental stressors on natural fish stocks.

Size-selective harvesting fosters adaptations in mating behavior and reproductive allocation, affecting sexual selection in fish
Sbragaglia, Valerio; Gliese, Catalina; Bierbach, David; Honsey, Andrew E.; Uusi-Heikkilä, Silva; Arlinghaus, Robert (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2019)The role of sexual selection in the context of harvest‐induced evolution is poorly understood. However, elevated and trait‐selective harvesting of wild populations may change sexually selected traits, which in turn can ... -
Experimental size-selective harvesting affects behavioral types of a social fish
Sbragaglia, Valerio; Alós, Josep; Fromm, Kim; Monk, Christopher T.; Díaz-Gil, Carlos; Uusi-Heikkilä, Silva; Honsey, Andrew E.; Wilson, Alexander D.M.; Arlinghaus, Robert (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)In most fisheries, larger fish experience substantially higher mortality than smaller fish. Body length, life-history and behavioral traits often correlate, such that fisheries-induced changes in size or life-history can ... -
Fine scale diversity in the lava: genetic and phenotypic diversity in small populations of Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus
Leblanc, Camille A.; Räsänen, Katja; Morrissey, Michael; Skúlason, Skúli; Ferguson, Moira; Kristjánsson, Bjarni K. (BioMed Central, 2024)Background A major goal in evolutionary biology is to understand the processes underlying phenotypic variation in nature. Commonly, studies have focused on large interconnected populations or populations found along strong ... -
The Riddle of How Fisheries Influence Genetic Diversity
Sadler, Daniel E.; Watts, Phillip C.; Uusi-Heikkilä, Silva (MDPI AG, 2023)Overfishing drives population decline, which in turn drives loss of genetic diversity. Many studies provide evidence of declines in genetic diversity; however, controversy exists within the literature, as some studies show ... -
Implications of size‐selective fisheries on sexual selection
Uusi-Heikkilä, Silva (Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)Fisheries often combine high mortality with intensive size‐selectivity and can, thus, be expected to reduce body size and size variability in exploited populations. In many fish species, body size is a sexually selected ...
