Mr Juliano Palacios-Abrantes1, Dr. W.W.L. Cheung1 1University Of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada Climate change is shifting the distribution of fish stocks towards areas with cooler environment, generally in higher latitude or deeper water. Such shifts threaten to increase the amount of conflict over resources as stocks move freely in ocean waters crossing human-made management boundaries….

Dr Ismael Núñez-Riboni1, Dr Anna Akimova1 1Thünen-institut Für Seefischerei, Bremerhaven, Germany Matching environmental and fishery data is a fundamental step when modeling fish distributions and marine habitat suitability. In this study, we show how resolution reduction (downsampling) of both fishery and environmental data improves the performance of habitat modeling. We use spatially resolved abundances throughout…
