dc.descriptionThis book provides a comprehensive examination of the relationships between climatic variability, projected global warming, and marine fisheries, drawing on detailed historical case studies from multiple regions, including the North Pacific, the North Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, the Humboldt Current system, and the Great Lakes. Its central purpose is to assess how fisheries and dependent societies have responded to environmental fluctuations and abrupt ecological disturbances, and to use these experiences as analogues for anticipating future impacts of climate change. The volume adopts a forecasting by analogy approach, explicitly recognising the current limitations of regional climate projections and ecological models. It analyses biological and oceanographic processes affecting fish recruitment, distribution, and productivity, alongside economic structures, management regimes, technological adaptation, and institutional responses. The case studies address stock collapses, shifts in species abundance, regulatory transformations such as the extension of exclusive economic zones, and extreme climatic events including El Niño. Across these examples, the book highlights the complexity of marine ecosystems, the uncertainty surrounding natural mortality and recruitment, and the constraints of fisheries management systems. It emphasises that environmental forcing operates across multiple temporal scales and that societal responses are shaped by political, economic, and technological capacities.en
