Management Scenarios Under Climate Change – A Study of the Nordic and Barents Seas

The effects of increasing fishing pressure in combination with temperature increase in the Nordic and Barents Seas have been evaluated using an end-to-end model for the area forced by a downscaled RCP 4.5 climate scenario. The scenarios that have been applied have used four different fractions of fisheries mortality at maximum sustainable yield (Fmsy); 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.1 x Fmsy. As it is highly likely that more ecosystem components will be...
