  abstract = {{A}nthropogenic pressures in estuaries may impair not only the fitness of organisms and the evolutionary processes necessary to the survival, but also the management of exploited marine resources. {I}n order to assess these impacts, phenotypic and genotypic data pertaining to young-of-the-year ({YOY}) sole ({S}olea solea) were screened in differentially contaminated {N}orth {E}ast {A}tlantic estuaries ranging from {P}ortugal ({M}ondego) to the {E}nglish {C}hannel ({S}eine). {YOY} sole inhabiting each estuary was found being phenotypically distinct from each other; each of them being impacted by pollution when comparing observed phenotypic data with published literature. {A}ccording to the strong pollution in the {S}eine estuary, the corresponding {YOY} sole sample showed significantly lower body mass, size and condition factor compared to other samples. {U}sing fifteen genetic markers, the {M}ondego estuary demonstrated low, but significant levels of genetic differentiation with most of the samples. {U}sing neutrality tests, two loci were found to be putatively under directional selection ({S}oso7 and {S}oso23), but only locus {S}oso7 demonstrated significant positive heterozygosity-fitness correlation ({HFC}) for body size and body mass, suggesting a possible ongoing adaptive process. {T}he candidate locus {MT} associated to a detoxifying metallothionein gene did not show significant genetic differentiation, but (i) significant deficit in heterozygote in the {S}eine estuary as already reported in other coastal samples impacted by metallic contaminants, and (ii) significant positive {HFC} with body mass were found. {S}elective rather than demographic processes better explain an observed genetic structure in {YOY} sole and are predominantly associated with the heavily contaminated {S}eine estuary whose nursery function and capacity are degraded.},
