Darwinian fitness measures the reproductive success of a species. This measures how much of a contribution a specific individual contributes to their species' gene pool, and whether certain gene mutations within an individual will or will not have an overall effect on the gene pool of a species as a whole.

What is meant by fitness on Darwinian evolution?

Fitness in Darwinian evolution refers to an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in a given environment.
