Environmental
change has been a characteristic feature of life on earth, and
has been a major influence on the evolution and global distribution
of biodiversity. Recent marked changes in global climate are predicted
to continue. Climate change is considered as a key threat to biodiversity
and to the structure and function of ecosystems. Here, we review
the current understanding of climate change and describe the likely
consequences for the fishes of Britain and Ireland through a series
of case studies detailing the likely response of several marine,
diadromous and freshwater fishes to climate change.
