The genomic consequences of fisheries collapse in a marine fish
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Overexploitation of large and highly connected marine fish populations may impact their future evolutionary potential and recovery, but understanding the underlying changes to genetic diversity can be challenging. The collapse of Northern Cod (Gadus morhua), historically the largest population of Atlantic Cod in the northwest Atlantic, raised questions regarding the potential biological consequences for the populations’ genetic diversity. Using low-coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS) on collections from the 1990s and 2010s, we detected a decline in genetic diversity of Atlantic Cod along the Canadian Atlantic coast. Most recent collections exhibited lower genetic diversity (i.e., Watterson’s θ) and fewer genetically distinguishable groups than 1990s collections. Runs of homozygosity were also longer and more numerous in the 2010s collections. Our results demonstrate a loss in genetic diversity at the population and individual level following the fishery collapse and indicate that genetic diversity can be lost even in numerically large populations. The loss of genetic diversity may have important implications for fisheries conservation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
