Size‐selective harvesting imposes indirect selection on life‐history traits and has profound evolutionary and ecological implications for fish populations, influencing traits such as body size, reproductive success, hatchability, and driving significant genetic shifts. Here, we investigated the long‐term effects of three harvesting strategies, large‐harvested (LH), small‐harvested (SH), and random‐harvested (RH), on marine med...

Long-term selective fishing pressure often leads to miniaturization, smaller size, and early sexual maturity in many commercial fish species. To adapt, these species increase energy allocations toward maturation and reproduction, which can reduce population productivity and recruitment. However, how different fishing pressures affect reproductive investment and energy allocation between growth and reproduction remains unclear....

Introduction To enhance the application of mechanized harvesting and supplement research on harvesting theory in mudflat-buried shellfish harvesting in China, a brush-screen cooperative mudflat-buried shellfish vibration harvester was designed. Methods The harvester is primarily composed of a crank rocker double-layer vibrating screen, two stage rolling brush, and a conveyor chain. White clams ( Mactra veneriformis ) cultured...
