As Climate Change Warms Oceans, Fish Move Toward Poles

Weather Channel: Fish are moving toward the poles, and its not because of their magnetism. New research out of the University of British Columbia reveals that climate change -- and more specifically, warmer ocean temperatures -- could result in a large-scale shift of marine fish and invertebrates, notes a UBC news release. The tropics could be fishless by 2050, according to the researchers. The tropics will be the overall losers, William Cheung, a UBC associate professor and study co-author, said in...

Tropical Fish Moving Toward Poles Due To Climate Change
2014-10-13 12:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
International Business Times: Climate change and warming of the world's oceans are prompting tropical fish to move toward cooler waters near the poles, according to a study, which predicts that a large number of fish will disappear from the tropics by 2050, if the current trend of changing temperatures continues. As part of the study, researchers at the University of British Columbia, or UBC, in Canada, used the same climate change scenarios as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, to predict a large-scale...
Climate change to drive fish away from tropics

Financial Express: Large numbers of fish will disappear from the tropics by 2050 as temperatures rise, according to a new study that examined the impact of climate change on fish stocks. Researchers from the University of British Columbia in Canada found that changing temperatures will drive more fish into the Arctic and Antarctic waters. Using the same climate change scenarios as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, researchers projected a large-scale shift of marine fish and invertebrates. In the...

Tropics to witness major fish loss by 2050: Study
2014-10-12 03:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Indo-Asian News Service: Large numbers of fish will disappear from the tropics by 2050 as the earth and the oceans get warmer and fish shift their habitat in search of cooler waters, a research found. Changing temperatures will drive more fish into the Arctic and Antarctic waters, the findings showed. "The tropics will be the overall losers," said co-researcher William Cheung, associate professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada. "This area has a high dependence on fish for food, diet and nutrition....
Climate change forcing fish stocks north: study
2014-10-11 22:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Canadian Press: A study has produced the strongest evidence yet that climate change is forcing hundreds of valuable fish species toward the poles. The paper, published in the ICES Journal of Marine Science on Friday, concludes that Canadian and Arctic waters may end up with more species and greater abundance. But fisheries in the tropics, where people depend more heavily on seafood, may become hollowed out. "The variety of species available for fisheries in the tropics will decrease," said co-author William Cheung...
