For a prosperous Blue Economy, everyone must be involved

For a prosperous Blue Economy, everyone must be involved

Women make up 85% of ocean sectors, but are invisible in fisheries management positions, with marine policies often undermining their livelihoods and wellbeing. They are often not included in any decision-making processes and their dependency and contributions to the Blue Economy are neglected.

Seafood farming’s growth rate has already peaked, and now it’s in decline

The growth rate of seafood farming worldwide peaked in 1996 according to new UBC research, highlighting the importance of rebuilding wild fish stocks to feed future demand.

As sea ice retreats, narwhals are changing their migration patterns

As sea ice retreats, narwhals are changing their migration patterns

Climate change and loss of sea ice is creating stressors for these animals, and they are adapting to a new life in the Arctic.

Food quality might be key for juvenile sockeye salmon growth and survival

Food quality might be key for juvenile sockeye salmon growth and survival

The quality of food sockeye salmon eat along their migration routes is more important to their growth and condition than quantity, a new study has found, highlighting concerns about the effects of climate change on ocean conditions and salmon.

Global fish stocks can’t rebuild if nothing done to halt climate change and overfishing, new study suggests

Global fish stocks can’t rebuild if nothing done to halt climate change and overfishing, new study suggests

“We are at a turning point. What we need is a coordinated global effort to develop practical and equitable marine conservation measures to support effective biomass rebuilding under climate change,” said Dr. William Cheung

International Year of the Salmon Expedition helps IOF researchers map North Pacific food webs

International Year of the Salmon Expedition helps IOF researchers map North Pacific food webs

For scientists in the IOF’s Pelagic Ecosystems Lab, the trip represents a chance to trace the outline of North Pacific food webs, in which salmon play a central role as both predator and prey.

Massive “ensemble” climate modelling study includes work of multiple IOF researchers

Massive “ensemble” climate modelling study includes work of multiple IOF researchers

The project used nine different computer models, created by different teams around the world, to illustrate with greater clarity and range how ocean life will be impacted by Earth’s warming climate.
