Scotland’s fishing industry is set to face major challenges due to the impact of climate change, according to new research.
Scientists at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (Sams) are predicting that global warming could cause commercially important fish such as cod, herring and haddock to vanish from waters off the west coast by the turn of the century.
They say the fish are likely to migrate northwards to escape rising sea temperatures, causing collapse of local fisheries.
Study leader Dr Natalia Serpetti, a marine ecologist at Sams, says the results highlight the importance of considering environmental conditions alongside fishing quotas when aiming to achieve sustainable fisheries.
“Our results showed that warmer climate could jeopardise sustainable fishery management,” she said.
“Rising temperature showed strong negative impact on cold-water species such as grey seals, cod, haddock and herring, which all declined by 2100 under the worst-case climate-warming scenario.
“Even under the best-case climate-change scenario, cod and herring stocks were predicted to collapse off Scotland’s west coast.”

“predict”?
I do not care.
And if you just surrender your rights and submit to our rationing and control, the fish will live. Of course, we'll tell you how many you get to eat. If any.
Enough of the Global Warming crap posts
“Our results showed that warmer climate could jeopardise sustainable fishery management,” she said.
Maybe Trump could get Pruitt to work with the UK to fire "scientists" at the Scottish Association for Marine Science.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Scare tactics based on speculation about events 80+ years in the future.
This is insane, especially when you consider the proven inaccuracy of he models cited.
Don’t worry Ilona, they’ve been “facing” this challenge for thousands of years. If you’re going to continue doing this stuff, buy yourself a history and science book and then READ THEM.
What is the volume of the ocean?
What is the volume of the air?
What is the heat capacity of water?
What is the heat calacity of air?
How does the ocean warm and cool?
How deep into water can infrared radiation, presumably caused by global warming, penetrate into water
How deep into water does long wave radiation from the sun penetrate into water?
Based on the above answers describe the mechanism and whether it is physically possible for the atmosphere to heat the ocean
For decades that we know of, fluctuating ocean temperatures in the Pacific known as El Nino have affected fish varieties caught off the So. Cal coast. It’s not unusual to catch dorado, wahoo and marlin typically abundant in the Sea of Cortez off Santa Monica when the water temps exceed 66*. When the water temps return to normal, the fish habitat returns to normal.
OMG! She’s smoking again... or how can we “save” the Earth when she seems unconcerned about how her own behavior affects her “health”?
The Iceland volcano shows Mama Earth is not in a cooperative mood as she refuses to reduce her carbon footprint! Tons of ash and CO2 could be spewed into the atmosphere, without regard to Paris Accords or any other pollution regulations!!! Unlike Al Gore and others, I would hope Mama “Gaia” Earth will lead by example in this fight against Global Warming (Climate Change on cold days)!
“could”? I don’t care/scare either:-)
When did Scotland start harvesting grey seals?
How long before we are told that G W will cause the oceans to evaporate, so that all life will cease.
Really! How about something to do with renewable energy in Scottish waters?
The Norwegian oil company Statoil built the first floating windfarm there off of Scotland last month.
“””Really! How about something to do with renewable energy in Scottish waters?”””
There is no such thing as renewable energy.
