Climate change impacts on fish stocks

Investigating the impacts of climate change on commercial fish stocks in Irish waters

This project takes a whole life cycle approach to investigating impacts of climate change on fish stocks. Advanced time series, spatial modelling and biophysical modelling approaches are used to determine the influence of environmental and fishing drivers on larval dispersal and recruitment, adult distributions, migrations and overall stock productivity. The research is conducted in collaboration with the Marine Institute and funded under the Marine Research Programme by the Irish Government (2020-2024). Outputs will equip decision makers with the knowledge needed to effectively adapt to climate impacts.

This project (Grant-Aid Agreement No. PDOC/19/01/01) is carried out with the support of the Marine Institute and is funded under the Marine Research Programme by the Irish Government.
