Integrative modeling and assessment of management strategies for climate-driven shifts in fish populations in the Barents Sea

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Stefan Koenigstein1 1NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center, Environmental Research Division, Monterey, United States The Barents Sea is a sub-arctic shelf sea strongly influenced by climatic variability. In recent years, ocean warming has led to shifts in distribution and productivity of economically important marine fish populations, and substantial management challenges are expected under continuing warming…

Fisheries Redistrubution under Climate Change: Rethinking the Law to Address the “Governance Gap”

ByCourtney Glancy

Mr Mitchell Lennan1 1Strathclyde Centre For Environmental Law And Governance, Glasgow, United Kingdom This presentation showcases ongoing PhD reseach concerning the issue of fisheries redistribution under climate change. Scientific surveys and fisheries mathematical models tell us ocean warming and acidification is shifting the distribution of many fish species poleward, or into deeper waters. An issue…

Accelerated reef ecosystem collapse following population explosion of a pivotal range-extender

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Scott Ling1, Dr John Keane1 1Institute For Marine & Antarctic Studies, Hobart, Australia This presentation will detail the results of a recent coast-wide resurvey of the range-extending sea urchin (Centrostephanus rodgersii) and its’ overgrazing impact on Tasmanian reefs relative to baselines established in 2001. Since the first positive identification of an individual C. rodgersii…

Factors restricting the spread of invasive plants at high latitudes

ByCourtney Glancy

Prof Peter M. Kotanen1 1University Of Toronto, Mississauga, Canada Invasions at high latitudes are an emerging problem. Few invasive plants currently occur in subarctic or arctic Canada, but northern towns may play a crucial role in future climate-driven range expansions by acting as centres for the initial arrival and establishment of invaders already present in…

Shifting daylength regimes associated with range shifts alter aphid-parasitoid community dynamics

ByCourtney Glancy

Miss Rachel Kehoe1, Mr David Cruse1, Dr Dirk Sanders1, Prof Kevin Gaston1, Dr Frank van Veen1 1University Of Exeter, Halvasso, United Kingdom With climate change leading to poleward range expansion of species, populations are exposed to new daylength regimes along latitudinal gradients. Daylength is a major factor affecting insect life cycles and activity patterns, so…

Actionable Business Rules to Operationally Address Shifting Marine Fish and Fisheries Distributions

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Jason Link1, Dr Jon Hare1, Dr Cisco Werner2, Dr Rick Methot3 1NOAA Fisheries, Woods Hole, United States, 2NOAA Fisheries, Silver Spring, United States, 3NOAA Fisheries, Seattle, United States Shifting distributions of marine fishes are now well documented, as are fisheries that target them. Projections indicate that these shifts to both marine fishes and fisheries…

Science in support of sustainable fisheries management: how are we accounting for shifting distributions?

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Patrick Lynch1, Dr Malin Pinsky2, Melissa Karp1, Jay Peterson1, Roger Griffis1 1NOAA Fisheries, Silver Spring, United States, 2Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, United States Fishery stock assessments are fundamental to sustainable fisheries management. They provide the scientific basis for determining fish stock health (i.e., stock status) and sustainable levels of…
