(Atlantic-Fish-Biomass)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A new study is predicting a steep decline in global fish populations by the end of the century — if unchecked greenhouse gas emissions continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrea Bryndum-Buchholz of Memorial University says that includes species in Atlantic Canada — as the region’s water temperatures continue to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That has implications for local fishers, who could soon face significant challenges in the worst-case scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The marine ecologist says governments managing fish populations could adopt a risk-based approach, carefully monitoring biomass, animal behaviour and water temperature. (The Canadian Press)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
