| Description: |
This study evaluates the pace and magnitude of climate change effects for bottom-dwelling fishery species found on the U.S. Northeast Shelf. Researchers studying marine fishery species, grouped by similar depth and temperature distribution, have found that those groups have similar responses to the effects of climate change. Interactions between individual species in those groups, however, may be affected by the amount of available habitat, predator-prey relationships, and competition for food resulting from shifts in range and distribution.
