Explanation / Answer

Most commercial fisheries are highly size-selective; typically targeting individuals above a certain size threshold. This selectivity can result from the use of particular types of fishing gear, such as trawls, or specific regulations, such as minimum slot sizes. As a result, individuals that manage to reproduce at a small size/young age will often have higher fitness
