Species distribution

Protecting 30 per cent of the ocean by 2030 would barely impact fisheries

Protecting 30 per cent of the ocean by 2030 would barely impact fisheries

Sea Around Us presents a multi-objective solution that could lead to the protection of 89% of the ocean’s Representative Biodiversity Areas and 89% of threatened species or about 860 species, all while maintaining access to fishing grounds that provide 89% of the global catch.

IOF researchers use salmon scales to track sockeye in the high seas

IOF researchers use salmon scales to track sockeye in the high seas

Knowing where different salmon stocks forage will be essential for identifying the unique environmental threats they will face as oceans become more inhospitable due to climate change and other cumulative impacts.

I’m creating a model that will predict the hypoxic conditions of freshwater streams years from now. This will help governmental organizations know where to focus their conservation efforts in terms of which streams are going to be the most impacted by our changing environment, said Ramirez.

New use for museum fish specimens

New use for museum fish specimens

Some fish are difficult to reach and a museum specimen may be the only known representative of the species. Using preserved fish specimens is a more precise way to learn.
