These bodies of water are right next to each other, but oceans apart
Areas of B.C.’s coastal ocean may look similar from above water, but under the water, they can be completely different worlds, in terms of temperature, salinity, ocean acidification, and nutrient concentrations.
New model helps predict climate change-induced early spawning by fish
Fisheries managers and researchers may now predict how early fish will spawn in response to warming waters due to climate change, both in the oceans and in freshwaters.
Long-term studies quantify the prey requirements of pinnipeds, and help predict the effects of nutritional stress
Two new studies by Dr. David Rosen answer the question: “How much fish does a seal need?”
Europe’s most valuable marine species “reduced to a fraction” of their current population size by 2100
Over one quarter of Europe’s 20 most highly-fished marine species will be under extreme pressure by 2100 if nothing is done to simultaneously halt climate change, overfishing, and mercury pollution
