“Climate change provides more fish in the North Sea,” reads the headline in the biggest German tabloid, Bild.
“Great for Sardines, great for Tuna! … At least in the North Sea.”
In addition to many problems, climate change also offers real opportunities for the fishing industry: in the medium term, an increase in the wealth of species and catch potential in the middle and northern latitudes is to be expected, according to the German Fisheries Association.
Positive news for deep-sea fisheries
Some heat-loving fish are increasingly found in the North Sea, said Uwe Richter, the Association Chief of the German Deep Sea Fishing. He noted that if the stocks of sardines or tuna continued to increase there, they could soon be commercially exploited.
In the northern latitudes, climate change is causing more mackerel and cod populations, Richter said.
Higher water temperatures also make it possible that introduced species feel at home in German lakes and rivers – especially the Chinese crab or the signal crayfish.
I might point out that warmth is also better for humans.
