ICES Report on Ocean Climate 2017 [PDF]
Long time-series of ocean properties are rare in the surface ocean and even more uncommon in the deep ocean. The North Atlantic region is unique in having a relatively large number of locations where oceanographic data have been collected repeatedly for ...

Assessment of Bottom Trawl Impacts on the Status of Seabed Communities in European Seas
ABSTRACT Bottom trawling affects seabed habitats, but its large‐scale impacts remain poorly quantified. Assessment of trawling impacts is essential to support monitoring and achieving sustainability objectives under international conventions, sustainable development goals, and seafood certification programs.

Harp Seals: Monitors of Change in Differing Ecosystems [PDF]
Harp seals are the most abundant marine mammal in the north Atlantic. As an ice obligatory predator, they reflect changes in their environment, particularly during a period of climatic change.

Community structure and range shifts in Arctic marine fish under climate change
Arctic marine ecosystems are rapidly transforming due to climate change. Warming temperatures and shrinking sea ice are enabling boreal fish to expand northward, possibly disturbing cold‐adapted Arctic species assemblages. Species range shifts have been documented in the Bering and Barents Seas, raising concerns about ecosystem restructuring.

Borealisation of Plant Communities in the Arctic Is Driven by Boreal‐Tundra Species
We found limited borealisation rates across the tundra biome. However, borealisation was greater in Eurasia, closer to the treeline, at higher elevations, in warmer and wetter regions, where climate change was limited and where initial boreal abundance was lower. Boreal species colonised tundra plots less often than Boreal‐Tundra species.

This study analyzes the body length and sex composition of Greenland sharks across the northern North Atlantic and demonstrates distinct demographic distribution patterns. Areas with high occurrence of adult females, juveniles, or neonates are identified allowing for pinpointing locations of high biological importance for the species listed as ...

Arctic Geopolitics, Climate Change, and Resilient Fisheries Management [PDF]
This article examines the resilience of fisheries management institutions to the combined challenges inherent in geopolitical and climatic change. Increased emphasis on geopolitical considerations tends to make governments more, not less, inclined to ...

The recent phase of decadal mode of variability in the Pacific Arctic Region is dominated by the North Pacific Aleutian Low and is associated with the Pacification of the Arctic Ocean, with conditions favourable for regional warming, freshening, and expansion of Pacific species into the Arctic. ABSTRACT Located at the confluence of the Arctic and North
