ZrSiS has been identified as an exemplary Dirac nodal-line semimetal, in which the Dirac band crossings extend along a closed loop in momentum space. Recently, the topology of the Fermi surface of ZrSiS was uncovered in great detail by quantum oscillation studies. For a magnetic field along the tetragonal $c$ axis, a rich frequency spectrum was observed stemming from the principal electron and hole pockets, and multiple magnetic breakdown orbits. In this work we use uniaxial strain as a tuning parameter for the Fermi surface and the low energy excitations. We measure the magnetoresistance of a single crystal under tensile (up to 0.34 %) and compressive (up to -0.28 %) strain exerted along the $a$ axis and in magnetic fields up to 30 T. We observe a systematic weakening of the peak structure in the Shubnikov-de Haas frequency spectrum upon changing from compressive to tensile strain. This effect may be explained by a decrease in the effective quantum mobility upon decreasing the $c/a$ ratio, which is corroborated by a concurrent increase in the Dingle temperature.
