Climate warming is shifting fish distributions. Silver hake in the Northeast US shelf are moving poleward, strongly linked to the Gulf Stream and Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) changes.

Area of Science:

  • Marine Biology
  • Oceanography
  • Climate Science

Background:

  • Organismal distribution is shifting due to climate warming.
  • Understanding large-scale distribution mechanisms is crucial for fisheries management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the oceanographic drivers of silver hake (Merluccius bilinearis) spatial distribution.
  • To correlate silver hake distribution shifts with large-scale oceanographic changes over 40 years.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of historical silver hake distribution data.
  • Correlation with Gulf Stream position and bottom temperature data.
  • Linking shelf temperature changes to Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) dynamics.

Main Results:

Published on: July 10, 2020

  • Silver hake distribution over 40 years strongly correlates with Gulf Stream position.
  • Distribution shifts are driven by local bottom temperature changes.
  • These temperature changes are influenced by large-scale AMOC variations.

Conclusions:

  • Remote oceanographic processes, specifically AMOC, significantly influence commercially important fish distribution.
  • Projected AMOC weakening suggests a continued poleward shift in silver hake distribution.
  • Silver hake distribution changes can be forecast on decadal to multidecadal scales.
