Abstract

Global warming can alter the spatial and temporal distribution of fish stocks, which often has an impact in commercial fisheries. Better anticipation and preparations for the effects of global warming on fisheries are necessary. In this review paper, we examined and summarized the past predictions of the effects of global warming on commercially important fishes around Japan and contrasted with recent information
