ImpactHigh impact

The discussions emphasize significant ecological and conservation impacts, highlighting risks to predator species and the need for policy responses.

Abstract in brief

  • Climate change and rising sea temperatures threaten Antarctic krill populations, especially in the northern Scotia Sea where a 40% decline in krill size is projected.
  • As krill decline, predator species like penguins, whales, seals, and fish face increased risk of depletion, with penguin populations potentially decreasing by up to 30%.
  • Implementing and adjusting krill fishing limits could help mitigate these risks, but the effectiveness varies by location and species, highlighting the need for targeted, spatially-specific conservation strategies.]

@KorimakoEcology @OceaNikk_1 @katie_at_sea @Kavanaghty @CCAMLR1 @BAS_News What @OceaNikk_1 said. Issue is when #krill fishery takes most of its catch in same place & at same time as krill-dependent predators (eg https://t.co/WnbLA1KRO8). We’ve also done work to show that these risks could be exascebated by #ClimateChange (https://t.co/Gbw29z8rUP).....

Also nod to our earlier work w/model to show possible impacts of #ClimateChange on #krill &krill-dependent predators in #ScotiaSea - reducing fishing could alleviate risks for some preds (but most vulnerable to #ClimateChange...maybe no fishing?): https://t.co/Gbw29z8rUP
