Climate-induced shifts in species distribution could impact the management of internationally shared fish stocks

Climate change will affect the distribution of many commercially harvested fish and shellfish species, including stocks that occur across national boundaries and are subject to international management agreements (i.e. ‘transboundary’ fish stocks). This study models how the ranges of transboundary stocks are likely to move between countries. The researchers find that shifts may already be happening and could affect 45% of the world’s internationally shared fish stocks by the end of the current century. Click here to read more
