Climate change and red mullet
G.H. Engelhard*, J.R. Ellis*, D.J. Beare and J.K. Pinnegar*
The high market value of red mullet, its potentially increasing presence in northern parts of its distribution range in response to warming climate, in combination with the likelihood of a more targeted fishery for the species in the future, make this non-quota species a highly relevant case study in the context of climate change and fishery management. It is of note that this species has a relatively fast growth rate and a planktonic egg life-phase, which may make it more capable to rapidly respond to climate warming by colonising new habitats. The availability of some historical data for the species will enable analyses of longer-term data sets to be undertaken, which could shed light to what extent northward range expansions of red mullet are a common phenomenon of warmer periods, or are specific to the significant warming that is currently taking place.
