Possible effects of climate warming on the timing of spawning, juvenile abundance and catches of pikeperch, Stizostedion lucioperca (L.)
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The effects of climate warming on the population dynamics and exploitation of pikeperch (Stizostedion lucioperca (L.)) were studied in the Baltic Sea and its drainage area. In southern (61°N) and in central Finland (64°N) the average spawning period will be about one month earlier due to climate warming in the year 2050. In Pärnu Bay, Estonia (58°N, 24°E), the juvenile abundance of 0+ pikeperch will be higher, and higher abundances and warmer waters will also enhance fishermens catches.
