This study aims to examine the combined effects of climate change and spatial management on fisheries in the North Sea.
Application of the OSMOSE model to evaluate ecological interactions and fishing dynamics.
Assessment of 14 ecologically and commercially important fish species under different scenarios.
Integration of climate impacts, economic drivers, and spatial management in an Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management framework.
Climate change alone reduces higher trophic level biomass by approximately 7%, impacting species groups differently.
Spatial management led to localized biomass gains, particularly in the Dogger Bank MPA, indicating potential sheltering effects.
Effort reduction resulted in significant ecological shifts and improved economic value despite overall biomass losses.
