FIG. 1 in Predicting Eco-evolutionary Impacts of Fishing on Body Size and Trophic Role of Atlantic Cod

FIG. 1. Functions describing (A) somatic growth, (B) maturation, and (C) fecundity with age of our representative species, the Georges Bank stock of Atlantic Cod (GADUS MORHUA). A maturation ogive is the cumulative probability that an individual is mature. Black lines represent fixed relationships; dashed lines are plastic or evolutionary changes that occur with the advent of size-selective mortality. The decrease in size and age at maturation (dashed line, panel B) could be due to selection for earlier reproduction or due to lower relative size or density.
