1 Causes of spatial and temporal trends in species richness and abundance? Niels Daan Pensioner Wageningen IMARES

2 Climate change: a hot issue

3 Recent success stories of southerly species... Beare et al. 24 Engelse poon Striped Mul Recruitment at age 1 (millions) North Sea cod as well as current failure of a northerly species

4 Axiomatic conclusion: Effects of climate change! But: - A priori selection of examples? - Correlations do not imply a causal relationship - How would the response mechanism work?

5 Hypothesis If there are effects of climate change, northerly and southerly species should decrease and increase, respectively Two parameters: (1) Species richness (2) Species abundance Biogeographic regions (after Ekman, 1953)

6 NORTHERLY SPECIES SOUTHERLY SPECIES Artediellus atlanticus Pleuronectes platessa Aphia minuta Pomatochistus spp. Cyclopterus lumpus Pollachius virens Argentina sphyraena Raja clavata Hippoglossoides platessoi Raja batis Arnoglossus imperialis Raja montagui Hippoglossus hippoglossus Raniceps raninus Arnoglossus laterna Raja naevus Liparis liparis Rhinonemus cimbrius Aspitrigla cuculus Scophthalmus rhombus Lumpenus lampretaeformis Sebastes viviparus Atherina presbyter Scyliorhinus canicula Raja radiata Spinachia spinachia Buglossidium luteum Solea vulgaris Triglops murrayi Taurulus bubalis Callionymus lyra Sprattus sprattus Anarhichas lupus Trisopterus esmarki Callionymus maculatus Symphodus melops Glyptocephalus cynoglossu Zeugopterus punctatus Callionymus reticulatus Trachinus draco Myoxocephalus scorpius Zoarces viviparus Chelon labrosus Trachurus trachurus Pholis gunnellus Ciliata mustela Crystallogobius linearis Trigla lucerna Agonus cataphractus Galeorhinus galeus Ctenolabrus rupestris Trisopterus luscus Belone belone Lophius piscatorius Dicentrarchus labrax Capros aper Brosme brosme Platichthys flesus Diplecogaster bimaculata Dasyatis pastinaca Ciliata septentrionalis Pollachius pollachius Echiichthys vipera Liza aurata Clupea harengus Psetta maxima Engraulis encrasicolus Lophius budegassa Echiodon drummondi Scomber scombrus Eutrigla gurnardus Merluccius merluccius Entelurus aequoraeus Squalus acanthias Gaidropsurus vulgaris Pagellus erythrinus Gadus morhua Trisopterus minutus Gobius niger Phycis blennoides Limanda limanda Labrus bergylta Raja brachyura Liparis montagui Labrus mixtus Raja circularis Melanogrammus aeglefinus Lepidorhombus whiffiagoni Raja undulata Micrenophrys lilljeborgi Lesueurigobius friesii Sardina pilchardus Microstomus kitt Merlangius merlangus Scyliorhinus stellaris Molva molva Microchirus variegatus Solea lascaris Osmerus eperlanus Mullus surmuletus Spondyliosoma cantharus Phrynorhombus norvegicus Mustelus spp. Trigloporus lastoviza Phrynorhombus regius Myxine glutinosa Zeus faber

22 Conclusions Species richness has increased despite overexploitation or climate change. Both southerly and northerly species have increased in abundance, both in terms of # species and numerically. Southerly species have increased steeper. Climate change does not provide a satisfactory explanation, although it may have contributed. The mechanism still has to be elucidated: how would these species now that it has become warmer up north? Simultaneous changes in size composition better explained by overexploitation: better survival of juvenile fish and small species by released predation pressure (Daan et al., 25). But the last word has not yet been said!
