Abstract:<p>Climate warming is expected to lead to a reduction in the body size of marine organisms, a trend already observed in commercial fishes, but the effects of temperature rise on size distribution in exploited populations are difficult to separate from the impact of overfishing and other anthropogenic stressors. We aim to test the hypothesis that fish body sizes, as well as growth rates changed during the late Holocene and Anthropocene in the northern Adriatic Sea due to environmental perturbation… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
