Climate change is modifying fish distributions [6] and the productivity of marine and freshwater species. Climate change is expected to lead to significant changes in the availability and trade of fish products. [7] The geopolitical and economic consequences will be significant, especially for the countries most dependent on the sector.
Fish-MIP's goal is to use this ensemble modelling to project a more robust picture of the future state of fisheries and marine ecosystems under the impacts of climate change, [4] and ultimately to help inform fishing policy.
Jack mackerel caught by a Chilean purse seiner Fishing down the food web. Overfishing is the removal of a species of fish (i.e. fishing) from a body of water at a rate greater than that the species can replenish its population naturally (i.e. the overexploitation of the fishery's existing fish stock), resulting in the species becoming increasingly underpopulated in that area.
Climate change is modifying fish distributions [104] and the productivity of marine and freshwater species. Climate change is expected to lead to significant changes in the availability and trade of fish products. [105] The geopolitical and economic consequences will be significant, especially for the countries most dependent on the sector.
The reef faces an increasing number of threats from climate change. Coral bleaching is emerging as a significant driver of reef degradation. Recent research [126] highlights the environmental stressors that contribute to coral bleaching in this region. The study, which analyzed data from 2015 to 2017, found that intermediate bleaching events ...
Climate change driven by anthropogenic activities can harm aquatic ecosystems by disrupting current distribution patterns of plants and animals. It has negatively impacted deep sea biodiversity, coastal fish diversity, crustaceans, coral reefs, and other biotic components of these ecosystems. [31]
Climate change is modifying fish distribution [25] and the productivity of marine and freshwater species. This reduces sustainable catch levels across many habitats, puts pressure on resources needed for aquaculture , on the communities that depend on fisheries, and on the oceans' ability to capture and store carbon ( biological pump ).
Fisheries as a top-down force can shorten and destabilise food webs, while effects driven by climate change can alter the bottom-up forces of primary productivity. [ 137 ] Direct human impacts and the full suite of drivers of global change are the main cause of species extinctions in Anthropocene ecosystems, [ 191 ] [ 106 ] with detrimental ...
