The combined impact of fisheries and climate change on future carbon sequestration by oceanic macrofauna - Nature Communications
Marine animals play a key role in locking carbon deep in the ocean, slowing climate change. This study finds that fishing has already cut this service in half, with climate change expected to further ...

Although measures restoring commercial fish biomass could yield carbon benefits comparable to mangrove restoration 🌳, significant knowledge gaps and uncertainties remain and prevent their inclusion in the nature-based climate solution portfolio! ❌⛔

❓ This leads to the following question: Can the restoration of fish populations promote carbon export and sequestration to mitigate climate change 📈?

🎣🌡️🌍 Combined with climate change (under SSP 5-8.5), maintaining today's fishing levels will further decrease commercial fish carbon export by 56.7% compared to the 1950s 📉.

🎣 Fishing has already reduced commercial fish carbon export by 47% compared to the 1950s. Every 1% decline in biomass due to fishing will decrease fish carbon export by 0.8%! Again, size matters as size-related (📏) mechanisms linked to fish metabolism are at work!

With every degree of warming, commercial fish biomass and carbon export will decrease by 4.2% and 2.5%, respectively. This shows that mechanisms related to fish size (📏) and temperature (🌡️) are at work, partly offsetting the direct impact of a decrease in biomass ⚖️!

🌡️🌍 Climate change is projected to decrease fish carbon export by 4% under SSP 1–2.6, and 13.5% under SSP 5-8.5 by 2100, relative to the 1990s 📉.

We show that in 1950, before the development of industrial fisheries, commercial fish exported 0.23GtC.yr, mostly through the sinking of their fecal pellets 💩, but also through the sinking of their dead carcasses 💀.
