Aims: This project will use novel experiments with the aim of determining the potential for plasticity to be adaptive with sexual selection and how non-genetic effects transfer across generations by establishing genomic mechanisms. Significance: Plasticity (or acclimation) is often hailed as the saviour for species in the face of rapid climate change, but it is problematic if it is not adaptive in nature. Expected outcomes: Expected outcomes include an enhanced ability to predict adaptation of fish under environmental change. Benefits: This project will provide significant benefits to Australian and international communities that rely on fish for nutrition, economic and social values, through an improved evidence base to inform management.

目标：该项目将使用新颖的实验，旨在确定可塑性适应性选择的潜力，以及非遗传效应如何通过建立基因组机制跨代传递。意义：可塑性（或适应能力）通常被誉为物种面对快速气候变化的救世主，但如果它本质上不具有适应性，就会出现问题。预期成果：预期成果包括增强预测鱼类在环境变化下适应的能力。效益：该项目将通过改进的证据基础为管理提供信息，为依赖鱼类获得营养、经济和社会价值的澳大利亚和国际社会带来重大效益。
