Tridge summary

The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has released a report forecasting a decrease in fish stocks and biomass in the world ocean by 10% to 40% by the end of the century due to global warming. The report's authors collected and analyzed data from various models and observation systems to make the forecast. The extent of the decline will depend on the region and the temperature growth scenario. The report also highlights that climate change is causing ecological imbalances and forcing fish to move to unsuitable habitats. The FAO is developing recommendations to mitigate the decline in fish stocks, including more rational use and consumption of fish. However, the report also notes that current fishing practices are leading to the loss of a third of the fish caught.

TASS Vera Shcherbakova/. Global warming associated with climate change will lead to a decrease in fish stocks and biomass in the world ocean by 10% to 40% by the end of the century, depending on the region and the upcoming temperature growth scenario. Such data are contained in the latest, most comprehensive report "Climate Change Risks to Marine Ecosystems and Fisheries: Projections to 2100", prepared by a specialized department of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). As one of the authors of the report, Tarub Bahri, told a TASS correspondent, a wide range of data was collected and analyzed for the first time, which made it possible to make a global forecast. "We compared, analyzed and compiled data from different models and observation systems. This allowed us to achieve the most accurate results and forecasts, which are confirmed by different models," the agency's interlocutor said. She explained that projections were made for different countries and zones, and under ...
