Working Group 16: Climate Change, Shifts in Fish Production, and Fisheries Management
  • Acronym: WG-16
  • Parent Committee: FIS
  • Established: Oct. 1999 - Oct. 2005
  • Co-Chairs:
    Akihiko Yatsu (Oct. 2001 - Oct. 2005, Japan)

Terms of reference
  1. Identify key examples of species that have been affected by climate and ocean changes;
  2. Investigate and assess the impact of inter-annual and decadal-scale physical changes in relation to fishing effects;
  3. Describe or hypothesize the mechanisms linking climate and ocean changes to changes in the populations dynamics;
  4. Using these mechanisms and indices of climate change, examine the possibility of long-term forecasting of changes in population dynamics and ecosystem structure.
