Fish stocks are on the move due to climate change, and that means they will be shifting between the territorial waters of fishing nations. In a new study zoologist and fisheries researcher Juliano Palacios-Abrantes and his colleagues have projected this movement globally, through the next century, and have warnings about how this could lead to international disputes over fisheries that could compromise sustainability of the stocks. Their research was published in the journal Global Change Biology.
