New model helps predict climate change-induced early spawning by fish

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.

Europe’s most valuable marine species “reduced to a fraction” of their current population size by 2100

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

Nearly half of countries’ shared fish stocks are on the move due to climate change, prompting dispute concerns

Nearly half of countries’ shared fish stocks are on the move due to climate change, prompting dispute concerns

The study tracked the shifting ranges of 9,132 transboundary fish stocks, which account for 80 per cent of catch taken from the world’s EEZs, starting in 2006 and projecting to the year 2100.

Data confirm link between respiratory stress and fish reproduction

Data confirm link between respiratory stress and fish reproduction

A consistent metabolic ratio found across 133 Chinese marine and freshwater fish species provides new evidence in support of the idea that fish become sexually active – and spawn for the first time – in response to growth-induced respiratory stress.

Farmed seafood supply at risk if we don’t act on climate change

Farmed seafood supply at risk if we don’t act on climate change

If we continue to burn fossil fuels at our current rate, the amount of seafood able to be farmed sustainably will increase by only 8% by 2050, and decline by 16% by 2090.
