Introduction Comprehending species-specific reactions to climate variability is crucial for ecosystem-based fisheries management, especially for high-value multispecies fisheries. The waters of Taiwan harbour numerous commercially significant seabream species; nevertheless, the impact of large-scale climatic oscillations on their catch dynamics is inadequately characterised. Methods We examined catch trends of six principal se...

Climate change poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems, potentially altering the distribution of marine organisms and causing many species to migrate towards the poles. The habitat changes of species targeted for fishing are likely to affect fishing activities and the livelihoods of coastal communities. Hence, the present study analyzed the distribution of Indo‐Pacific king mackerel (IKM) in the Taiwan Strait (TS) by u...

Introduction Prior research emphasizes the beneficiaries and detractors in fisheries due to climate change, focusing on alterations in biomass, species mix, and potential yields. Comprehending the potential impact of climate change on the fisheries income of maritime nations is an essential subsequent step in formulating effective socio-economic policies and food sustainability plans to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Gl...

A commercially significant small coastal forage fish, moonfish ( Mene maculata ), accounts for almost 98% of Taiwanese purse seine capture, primarily in the southwestern Taiwan region. Research indicates that climate indices affect coastal fish catch and dispersal, while the link between moonfish and climatic variability in this region is still unclear. This study found that the delayed period of Pacific Decadal Oscillation (P...

Understanding the spatial arrangement of species in maritime settings necessitates the study of oceanography. Hence, doing a study on the correlation between oceanography and species dispersion is imperative, considering the impacts of global climate change. The study used a generalized additive modeling approach to analyze the influence of oceanographic conditions on the distribution of swordtip squid in northeastern Taiwan,...

The present study utilised a geometric mean model in which sea surface temperature, oxygen, and sea surface salinity were used to predict the effects of climate change on the habitats of mature albacore tuna in the Indian Ocean under multiple representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios. Data pertaining to the albacore tuna fishing conducted by Taiwanese longline fisheries during the October–March period in 1998–2016 w...
