Case Studies

Update (2019): Virtual fact sheets for each case study

ClimeFish will explore how the most important and the less resilient exploited European fish stocks and the most productive established aquaculture species respond to the different climate scenarios.

3 production sectors have been defined: marine fisheries, freshwater lakes and ponds and marine aquaculture. Within these sectors ClimeFish has identified 7 habitats: demersal and pelagic species for marine fisheries, cold and warm water species for lake and pond production; North, South and coastal regions for marine aquaculture.

The habitats and regions chosen allow for studies on a range of predicted temperature changes and a variety of potential threats and biological processes. Below is the 15 ClimeFish case studies listed, with a link to a more comprehensive description:
