WARM AND WANTED: EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND FISHERIES ON FISH GROWTH Ghent University
Warming temperatures are hypothesized to accelerate the somatic growth of individual fish to smaller adult body sizes. Fisheries extract large fish from populations because of their high market value, and cause populations to adapt maturation to earlier ages and smaller fish sizes. This PhD research will test the response of the growth of Common sole (Solea solea) populations to these climate and fishing pressures. In a first step, ...
