Analysis reveals localized changes in fish populations in the Celtic Seas, suggesting complex interactions with environmental factors.

Key Points

This research aims to investigate community-level trends in Lusitanian and Boreal marine fish populations in the Celtic Seas Ecoregion considering environmental changes and fisheries management.
Analyzed data from International Bottom Trawl surveys
Applied a random walk model for spatial variability
Used dynamic factor analysis to identify trends across species
No clear community-wide distribution shifts for Lusitanian and Boreal species observed
Significant increases in Lusitanian species noted in the southeast
Commercially exploited species showed strong increasing trends despite temporary cooling
