Using scenarios to project the changing profitability of fisheries under climate change

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the potential implications of changes in relative environmental suitability and fisheries catch potential on UK fisheries by linking species distribution modelling with cost-benefit analyses and developed scenarios and apply a multimodel approach to explore the economic sensitivity of UK fisheries and key sources of uncertainty in the modelling procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Opportunities for climate-risk reduction through effective fisheries management.

TL;DR: The results show that 60% (499 species) of the assessed species are projected to experience very high risk from both overfishing and climate change under a "business-as-usual" scenario by 2050, and the substantial opportunities for climate-risk reduction through effective fisheries management are highlighted.
