F12A:
Climate Impacts on Marine Fish, Fisheries, and Protected Species II


Session ID#: 37905

Session Description:
We invite presentations that explore the observed or modeled response of marine fish, fisheries, and protected species to climate variability and/or climate change. A wide-range of marine organisms will be considered, including invertebrates, fish, reptiles, mammals, and sea birds. Climate forcing can derive from natural variability (i.e. ENSO), anthropogenic climate change, or both. Impacts can derive from changes in physiology, bioenergetics, abundance, distribution, habitat, community structure, reproduction, behavior, and phenology. We also invite presentations that explore climate impacts on marine fisheries in terms of spatial distribution, changing target species and/or gear type, or the challenges faced by fisheries management in a changing climate. Studies can be based on the dynamics of marine ecosystems and food webs, populations, or individual species. We also encourage presentations that focus on fish, fisheries, and protected species management strategies (i.e. stock assessments, marine spatial planning) that incorporate climate information.
