Fig. 5: Climate risk and mitigation benefits for fisheries.
From: Operationalizing climate risk in a global warming hotspot
Points are the average vulnerability scores for 95 stocks in the area of study under contrasting emission scenarios to 2100. Coloured points represent the emission scenario (emissions mitigation = yellow; high emissions = blue). Coloured lines represent the change in the average climate vulnerability of stocks with emissions mitigation, where darker blue indicates larger emissions mitigation vulnerability reduction. Black labels indicate stocks for which there is a directed fishery and gray those fished as bycatch. ** indicates stocks under a fishing moratorium. Species are ranked by their relative climate vulnerability, demonstrating how this approach can be used to triage stocks in a management context.
