Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Journal Fishes is preparing a Special Issue entitled “Climate Change on Marine Fish Growth”. Climate change is deeply threatening marine fish, resulting in an uncertain future for both wild diversity and global fisheries. This has deep and multiple consequences, directly affecting marine fish physiology, behavior, growth, reproduction, mortality, and species distribution. Detecting the effects of climate change on marine fish can be challenging given the complexity of responses at individual, population, and species scales. Considering the current and predicted rise in ocean temperature and climate change scenario, the concern of the scientific community on this topic has increased. Thus, the main aim of this Special Issue is to understand how marine fish growth responds to changing environments, predicting the impacts of climate change on fish populations, communities, and even ecosystems. Papers shedding new light on these topics are welcome.
Dr. Ana Rita Vieira
