Abstract
This paper proposes an individual-based model that takes into account
the evolutionary effects of selective fishing on exploited populations.
The model is an adaptation of the Penna model based on the biology of
exploited species and characteristics of fishing. Given the importance
of the Pintado Pseudoplatystoma corruscans, a native species of great
economic value in the Brazilian fishery, the model was applied to study
the effects of selective fishing on the growth characteristics of this
species. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
