Survey of Wild Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas in Scotland
Global sea surface temperatures have accelerated in the last few decades (IPCC, 2007). Some of the most rapid increases have been seen in the NE Atlantic (IPCC, 2007), where increases of up to 1 oC have been recorded (Hawkins et al., 2003, Inall et al., 2009) and mean seawater surface temperatures h...

Some of the most rapid increases have been seen in the NE Atlantic (IPCC, 2007), where increases of up to 1 oC have been recorded (Hawkins et al., 2003, Inall et al., 2009) and mean seawater surface temperatures have risen by 0.57 oC per decade since 1975 (Inall et al., 2009).

Global sea surface temperatures have accelerated in the last few decades (IPCC, 2007). Some of the most rapid increases have been seen in the NE Atlantic (IPCC, 2007), where increases of up to 1 oC have been recorded (Hawkins et al., 2003, Inall et al., 2009) and mean seawater surface temperatures have risen by 0.57 oC per decade since 1975 (Inall et al., 2009).
