Description:

Here we conduct a climate vulnerability assessment on 71 species of commercially, recreationally, or ecologically important fish and invertebrate species found in riverine, estuarine, nearshore, and offshore waters of the southeast US Atlantic coast. Climate vulnerability refers to reduced productivity or abundance due to a changing climate. We determined that overall climate vulnerability is high or very high for almost two-thirds of species assessed, and the most impacted functional groups of species included deepwater reef fishes, diadromous fishes and invertebrates. Sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, and ocean acidification were determined to be the exposure factors with the greatest impact on species. Slightly more than half of species assessed have a high or very high potential for a change in geographic distribution due to climate change. Negative effects of climate change were predicted for only 18% of species, while 31 species were expected to be positively affected. These results will aid scientists in focusing research efforts on the most vulnerable species and help fishery managers incorporate climate change into their decisions.
