Shift in recreational fishing catches as a function of an extreme cold event
Abstract There is an increasing recognition that the influence of extreme climate events ( ECE ) can be more significant in structuring ecosystem dynamics than the gradual effects of climate change. Still, our understanding of the effects of climate extremes on ecosystem services such as marine fish...
