A new study by researchers at Rutgers University says climate change is forcing hundreds of ocean fish and invertebrate species, including Pacific rockfishes, through the end of this century.
That study, of change already in progress, covers the North American continental shelfs on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, according to Jim Morley, lead author, and Malin Pinsky, a co-author, of the article published on May 14 in the online journal PLOS ONE.
Species surveyed include finfish, sharks and rays, crustaceans and squid, with Pacific rockfishes, Atlantic cod and black sea bass found to be among those most affected.
