Abstract

Marine fish stocks and the ecosystems they inhabit are in decline in many
parts of our ocean, including in some European waters, because of
overfishing and the ecosystem effect of fishing in general. At the same
time, climate change is disrupting the physics, chemistry and ecology of the
ocean, with significant consequences on the life it holds. While the
positive effects of mitigating climate change on the ocean and marine life
are currently being documented, papers that examine how ending overfishing
could increase ocean resilience to climate change are less common. The goal
of this paper is to review the current literature and conduct an analysis
that demonstrate that ending overfishing and reducing other negative
ecosystem effects of fishing would make fish stocks and marine ecosystems
more resilient to climate change. Our findings suggest that fish are no
different from people in that a healthy person is more likely to survive an
epidemic than a person who is less healthy.
