Partnership between UBC researchers, marine stewards and K’ómoks First Nation spawns new microplastics findings

What they found helps illuminate the study of microplastics in the ocean, an area of pollution research that is garnering lots of attention due to the many unknowns about how these particles damage the health of organisms that ingest them.

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.

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.
