Evolution of growth in Gulf of St Lawrence cod?

Fishing is often size selective such that the likelihood of capture increases with body size. It has therefore been postulated that fishing could favour evolution of slower growth because smaller size would reduce exposure to fishing gear (e.g. [Ricker 1981][1]). A recent study by Swain et al . ([
