“…Salinity controls osmoregulatory mechanisms, with areas falling outside tolerance limits presenting sharp distributional barriers (Evans & Claiborne, 2009). This premise was verified for the species with salinity tolerance limits > 28 PSS and absent from the Baltic Sea, the widest hyposaline region of the study area (Bagdonas et al., 2011). The more tolerant species, P. platessa and C. harengus (tolerance limits of 7.66 and 9.66 PSS, respectively), can expand their ranges into such conditions.…”

Aim With climate change challenging marine biodiversity and resource management, it is crucial to anticipate future latitudinal and depth shifts under contrasting global change scenarios to support policy‐relevant biodiversity impact assessments [e.g., Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)]. We aim to demonstrate the benefits of complying with the Paris Agreement (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) and limiting environmental changes, by assessing future distributional shifts of 10 commercially important demersal fish species. Location Northern Atlantic Ocean. Time period Analyses of distributional shifts compared near present‐day conditions (2000–2017) with two Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios of future climate changes (2090–2100): one following the Paris Agreement climate forcing (RCP2.6) and another without stringent mitigation measures (RCP8.5). Major taxa studied Demersal fish. Methods We use machine learning distribution models coupled with biologically meaningful predictors to project future latitudinal and depth shifts. Structuring projections with information beyond temperature‐based predictors allowed us to encompass the physiological limitations of species better. Results Our models highlighted the additional roles of temperature, primary productivity and dissolved oxygen in shaping fish distributions (average relative contribution to the models of 32.12 ± 10.24, 15.6 ± 7.5 and 12.1 ± 6.1%, respectively). We anticipated a generalized trend of poleward shifts in both future scenarios, with aggravated changes in suitable area with RCP8.5 (average area loss with RCP2.6 = 13.3 ± 4.1%; RCP8.5 = 40.9 ± 13.3%). Shifts to deeper waters were also predicted to be of greater magnitude with RCP8.5 (average depth gain = 25.4 ± 21.5 m) than with RCP2.6 (average depth gain = 10.4 ± 7.9 m). Habitat losses were projected mostly in the Mediterranean, Celtic and Irish Seas, the southern areas of the North Sea and along the NE coast of North America. Main conclusions Inclusion of biologically meaningful predictors beyond temperature in species distribution modelling can improve predictive performances. Limiting future climate changes by complying with the Paris Agreement can translate into reduced distributional shifts, supporting biodiversity conservation and resource management.

“…Sea bass is widely distributed in mid-latitudes ( Fig. 2) from the Canary Islands (aquaculture escapees; Toledo Guedes et al 2009) and the Atlantic coasts of Morocco to Scotland and Scandinavia (Colman et al 2008), including the Azov, Black, Mediterranean and southern Baltic seas (Bagdonas et al 2011;Quéré et al 2012). The NEA is considered home to a distinctive population unit from Western and Eastern Mediterranean populations (Bahri-Sfar et al 2000;Naciri et al 1999;Tine et al 2014), transition zones being respectively the Almería-Orán front and in the Siculo-Tunisian strait (Quéré et al 2012).…”

European sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, is a highly valuable species in Europe, both for aquaculture in the Mediterranean Sea and for commercial and recreational fisheries in the North East Atlantic Ocean. Subjected to increasing fishing pressure, the wild population has recently experienced significant recruitment fluctuation as well as a northward extension of its distribution area in the North Sea. While the nature of the ecological and/or physiological processes involved remains unresolved, ontogenetic habitat shifts and adult site fidelity could increase the species' vulnerability to climate change and overfishing. As managers look for expert information to propose management scenarios leading to sustainable exploitation, exploratory modelling appears to be a cost-efficient approach to enhance the understanding of recruitment dynamics and the spatio-temporal scales over which fish populations function. A conceptual modelling framework and its specific data requirements are discussed to tackle some sound ecological questions regarding this species. We consequently provide an updated review of current knowledge on bass population structure, biology and ecology. This paper will hence be particularly valuable to develop spatially-explicit models of European sea bass dynamics under environmental and anthropogenic forcing. Knowledge gaps requiring further research efforts are also reported.

“…The European sea bass ( Dicentrarchus labrax L., hereafter ‘bass’) is a prominent example of a highly mobile northeast Atlantic range-expanding predator. In recent decades, bass have expanded northwards from a Mediterranean base, [ 69 ], supporting a recreational fishery since before the 1950s [ 73 ] and a rapidly growing UK commercial fishery from the early 1970s onwards [ 45 ], and more recently reaching the Norwegian fjords [ 30 ] and the Baltic Sea [ 3 ]. These movements have prompted several studies on bass movement and migration, with initial studies focussed on behaviour and distribution occurring in south western England [ 24 ], the southern and eastern coast of England [ 43 ] and on the western coasts of England and Wales [ 33 ].…”

The movements and behaviour of mature European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) in UK waters have not been studied extensively since a series of mark-recapture experiments during the 1970s, 80s and 90s. To better understand the timing and extent of seasonal migrations, 171 mature sea bass > 42 cm were internally tagged with floated electronic tags programmed to record temperature and depth, and released in the English Channel, in the southern North Sea and in the Irish Sea. Among the 48 tags returned to date, sea bass were at liberty for 370 ± 337 days and were recovered 172 ± 200 km from their respective release locations. Most tags were recovered from beaches (54%), or via the fishery (44%). A comparison of the reconstructed tracks from returned electronic tags with the recapture locations of 237 mark-recapture returns (6.5%) from 3615 sea bass released between 1970 and 2020 showed strong overlap. Seasonal movements between shallow areas (Q2–Q3) and deeper spawning areas (Q4–Q1) were accompanied by elevated vertical swimming speeds and average water temperatures of 8.5 °C in the English Channel and Irish Sea, but lower temperatures in the North Sea. Movements between the Celtic Sea/Irish Sea and the North Sea and vice versa demonstrate high levels of connectivity in UK waters. We demonstrate that a proportion of sea bass remained resident within the North Sea throughout the year, with a strong suggestion that spawning might be occurring. These data have significant implications for the future sustainable management of sea bass stocks in UK and surrounding waters.
