Funded Activity Summary
Why are fish shrinking as the climate warms? This project aims to uncover the mechanisms behind the temperature-size rule, a phenomenon causing fishes and other aquatic organisms to decline in size as the climate warms. Drawing on multidisciplinary expertise to test three competing theories, this project expects to identify the fundamental processes driving the temperature-size rule phenomenon. Expected outcomes include improved models to forecast the effects of global warming on fish and fisheries. The new knowledge and predictive power should be of direct benefit to natural resource managers in the continuing effort to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change. This will guide policy and management decisions by enabling more accurate forecasts of the impacts of climate change on wild and cultured fishes.Funded Activity Details
