[FRB-CESAB] FISHGLOB: Fish biodiversity facing global change – 2024
Global change, linked to climate and direct anthropogenic impacts, is causing redistribution of marine species worldwide, modifying fish population and stock structure, as well as community compositions. These changes may have strong impacts on fisheries and natural fish biodiversity as well as related ecosystem services. However, our capacity to assess and monitor short and long-term changes in species distribution and biodiversity is hampered by data availability and heterogeneity.
This conference organized by the FRB-CESAB presented the activities of the FISHGLOB consortium which has collected and combined a unique data set of scientific bottom trawl surveys conducted regularly during the last decades across the globe. Topics covered FISHGLOB consortium and data features, imputation method for missing species traits, Red list assessments, effects of marine heat waves, species assemblages’ homogenization/differentiation through time, consequences on fish stocks shared across countries and fishery management.
Finally, FISHGLOB aimed to provide an infrastructure enhancing international cooperation and knowledge transfer among data providers, scientists and stakeholders in order to support biodiversity and fishery management adaptation in a time of global change.
