TL;DR: In this paper, the expected responses of cod stocks throughout the North Atlantic to future temperature scenarios are reviewed and discussed, based upon the observed responses of fish to temperature variability, and it is shown that cod stocks in the Celtic and Irish Seas are expected to disappear under predicted temperature changes by the year 2100, while those in the southern North Sea and Georges Bank will decline.

TL;DR: Fish population variability and fisheries activities are closely linked to weather and climate dynamics as mentioned in this paper, and the close link between climate and fisheries is best illustrated by the effect of "unexpected" events such as those associated with the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on fish exploitation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review how exploitation, by altering the structure of populations and ecosystems, can modify their ability to respond to climate and show that demographic effects of fishing (removal of large-old individuals) can have substantial consequences on the capacity of populations to buffer climate variability through various pathways (direct demographic effects, effects on migration, parental effects).

TL;DR: A better understanding of potential climate change impacts (scenarios) at both regional and local levels, the development of improved methods to quantify the uncertainty of climate change projections, the construction of usable climate change indicators, and an improvement of the interface between science and policy formulation in terms of risk assessment will be essential to formulate and inform better adaptive strategies to address the inevitable consequences ofClimate change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review some of the ecosystem responses to climate variability and discuss the possible mechanisms through which climate acts, such as temperature, sea ice, turbulence, and advection.
