Selectively removing larger fish and leaving smaller juveniles over time would result in decreasing the average size of the fish population through natural selection. This is because larger fish are more likely to reproduce and pass on their genes for larger size, while removing them from the population would reduce the frequency of these genes. Therefore, the remaining smaller fish would be more successful in reproducing and passing on their genes for smaller size.
