Impacts of Ocean Warming on China's Fisheries Catches: An Application of “Mean Temperature of the Catch” Concept

Abstract: Ocean warming can strongly impact marine fisheries; notably, it can cause the "mean temperature of the catch" (MTC) to increase, an indicator of the tropicalization of fisheries catches. In this contribution, we explore MTC changes in three large marine ecosystems (LMEs) along China's coasts, i.e., the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea LMEs, and their relationships to shifts of sea surface temperature (SST). The results show that, while the MTCs began to increase in 1962 in the East China Sea and… Show more

“…Thus, an increase in MTC would indicate more warm-water species in the catch and/or a decrease in the amount of cool-water species. Recent analyses in the Mediterranean Sea (Tsikliras & Stergiou 2014) and China's seas (Liang et al 2018) supported global observations about the increase in the MTC at a regional scale. Other studies used fishery-independent data to estimate and compare MTC results with those obtained using landings data (Keskin & Pauly 2014, Tsikliras et al 2015, or took into account habitat characteristics and indirect measures of fishing effects (Maharaj et al 2018, Tsikliras et al 2019.…”

“…This attitude is very problematic at a time when we, as a scientific community, are challenged to devise novel ways to protect marine and freshwater biodiversity threatened by overfishing, pollution, and habitat modification (3,4) and by global changes with its attendant ills, ocean and freshwater warming (5)(6)(7)(8)(9), and acidification and deoxygenation (10)(11)(12). This is why the gill-oxygen limitation theory (GOLT) is being reintroduced here, and the case made for it to be seriously (re-)examined.…”

“…For tambaqui, Oliveira and Val (2017) found a decrease in the feed efficiency of the animals submitted to the drastic scenario A2 (increase of 4.5 • C and 850+ ppm of CO 2 in relation to the current levels) as predicted for the year 2100 by the IPCC (2007), suggesting increases in the cost of production due to the increase in food consumption and rearing time. Thus, in the coming decades, the great challenge will be to promote the development of techniques that ensure optimal fish growth rates under global warming scenarios (Baudron et al, 2014;Liang et al, 2018).…”
